For You G.I Blue

It's hard to believe that just this morning,
I was making breakfast for you at the house.
And now you're off with the recruiter.
Gone far away somewhere else.

It's hard to believe your stuff is packed up.
Your clothes, books, pictures, your things.
Who knows what it'll be like later,
Or what the future may possibly bring.

I know you'll be changed forever.
A boy to a man right before my eyes.
But I'll still know you're my brother.
I know I'll see it in your eyes.

You'll come back home in your uniform,
Eyes will be so teary like before when we all cried.
But not only will there be relief,
But courage, defiancy and pride.
