For Mothers Day

cant William NJ. Golden of the

mgton, D. c. The POEMS name is
MONS Battle" 1t was sent by
Seaman First Glass Harold A. Null
lens, Jr., to Mrs. Harold A. Mullens,
Sr., FL Centre, from aboard ship
somewhere in the Pacific war zone.
Mons battle is the toughest one
Cause it's the kind that's never won,
It's not a fight with fire and gun;
It's all day wondering Where's my
son?'
It's not war It's a fight within
It's where I'm at and where I've been.
It's what l eat; am l getting thin?
Am steering clear Of He'll and sin?
Do I pray to God to see me through
My every day, like I used to do?
am I still the carofree boy she knew?
It's been so long a year or two.
It's remembering when I was small,
How round the house 1 used to
crawl;
And the day that I began to walk,
And later, when l learned to talk.
The things 1 said; the things I did
When I was nothing but a kid
It's all those things that haunt
Mons mind.
It's a battle of a different kind.
A day ne'er starts, a day ne'er ends
Without a prayer that dear Nom
sends
To our Heavenly Father up above,
That hen watch DER her fondest
love.
She has no defense against attack
Just prays to God to sen6 me back
She fights her battles for her son
With prayers her weapon not
a gun.
