Thank you for your warm hugs have helped me ease the chill
of knowing that my soldier will climb up one more hill.
Thank you for your sweetness and thank you for your smiles
have helped me know my soldier can keep on walking miles.
Thank you for your prayers. They're appreciated. Everyone,
I know that they are being heard though I can't hear my son.
I can't hear him in his bunker
as he kneels his head to pray.
I can't hear him on his ship deck
as he's working through his day.
I can't hear him in his battle
As his shattered nerves are frayed.
I can't hear him over Baghdad
as his bombs drop on their way.
I can't hear him as he's walking
through the dust storm's blinding gray.
I can't hear him counting bodies
as gun fire's gone astray.
Yes, he knows that I can't hear him
for he's much too far away,
but I do know that our God has heard
every word that you and I have prayed
and that is why I can rely
that my son is safe today...
...and to you this message I relay;
“Thank You” for my soldier.
-Lighthouse Bob
Written for my son and for my soldier Jeramiah Michaud.
