And we don't know what to say;
The kid we have loved and cuddled
stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him child. baby,
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size,
And the kid has heard the call
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that 1t whispered Come"
The kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot JOY,
To add his name to the roster
And, God! we're proud of the boy.
The kid has gone to the coiors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly martial style,
But now he's man, a soldier,
And we lend him a listening ear,
For his heart Is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse OF fear.
His dad, when he told him. shuddered,
His motherhood bless her!-crled;
Yet, blest with a mother nature,
She wept with a mother pride.
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was granddad- for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the flag to a man!
