November Rain
Today it rains on my parade
Today the clouds come out to play
Today like any other day is November Rain.
I sit there by the window
waiting for the phone
waiting to hear about my husband
who is out there in the war…
I sit here in my room
coloring on the walls
wondering if my daddy
will be able to tuck me in at all…
I remember playing ball,
I remember our first dates,
I remember when we used to argue
I remember his face.
I wonder where he is,
And I wish that I was there
My older brother is my hero
I just couldn’t bare…
I sit here looking at the pictures
remembering my son grow up
I would have never imagined he would grow up to fight for us all.
My son is a hero he left that November day
He looked me in the eyes and said
Mama, everything will be okay…
I looked into his eyes, and told him I was proud
but deep down inside I wanted to hold him down.
I wanted to yell, please don’t go
Do yo know how dangerous it is out there?
Do you know some boys don’t come back home?
I kissed him on the cheek and gave him a great big hug
with tears in my eyes I said goodbye…
I put on my brave eyes and told him I loved him
That day it rained on my parade
That day the clouds came out to play
That day became November Rain.
Mama please don’t cry
but today is the day I go to war
today is the day I fight for our country
Please be brave, I’ll be alright but I have to do this
It’s only right.
My wife is waiting at home, I hold pictures of her at night,
My child is waiting with tears in her eyes, I wish I can hold her tight. My brothers and sisters I miss so much I wish I can see them now,
My mother is praying for me to come home,
I wish I can call her now.
I’ll never get that chance now,
I did what I needed to do
I fought for my country and died,
but I believed in the Red, White and Blue.
We stand strong,
We live strong,
It’s the way of a soldier.
Today it rains on my parade
Today the clouds come out to play
Today like any other day is November Rain.
~Dedicated to all the Veterans, all the Soldiers who have passed, and all the Soldiers who are still out there risking their lives for us each and every day~
