1l0ey LnInk OF US SOIuleTS dS ASIOSo,
| And praise our names to the skies;
wounded,
And prayers for the one who dies.
| They write songs of our pals and our
sweethearts,
And mothers SO brave and so sad;
But name a great singer or poet
Who's mentioned word about dad.
Poor dad, with his check book and
troubles,
| He hasn't a look-in- at all
It's mother and pal and sweeth cart,
And Sammy. who answered the call,
But dad must be thinking and work
ing,
In a store, or mine, or a mill,
To get the old round iron dollars
To pay the big family bill.
He buys new bonds by the dozen,
! the heels;
And his overcoat's old and looks
shabby,
But you never hear old daddy
squeal.
He doesn't write much of a letter
To his boy who is going to France;
But sends him crisp five Or ten spot,
Whenever he has a good chance;
And evenings when reading his paper
And smoking his pipe or cigar,
He thinks of his boy clad in khaki
Says, II hope it is well where you
are"
Now, | think just lot of MY mother,
She's written each day I've been
gone;
And my pals and my frientis and my
sweetheart
Have all helped to cheer me along;
But my dad is as good and as human,
And sometimes | certainly feel
That as my dad has to pay and work
every day,
| don't think he gets a .s,ouare deal.
The foregoing was written by an
unknown soldier, who died in a hos
|pital in France.
