| Just before the battle, Mother, I am thinking most of you. While upon the field we're watching, with the enemy in view. Comrades brave are 'round me lying, filled with thoughts of home and God; For well they know that on the morrow, some will sleep beneath the sod. Oh, I long to see you, Mother, and the loving ones at home, But I'll never leave our banner till in honor I can come. Tell the traitors all around you that their cruel words we know, In every battle kill our soldiers by the help they give the foe. Hark! I hear the bugles sounding, 'tis the signal for the fight, Now, may God protect us, Mother, as He ever does the right. Hear "The Battle Cry of Freedom," how it swells upon the air, Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard, or we'll nobly perish there. Farewell, Mother, you may never press me to your breast again; But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother, if I'm numbered with the slain. |
| Day is done; Gone is the sun, from the lakes, from the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh. Fading light dims the sight and a star gens the sky gleaming bright from afar drawing nigh falls the night. Thanks and praise for our days neath the sun neath the stars neath the sky as we go this we know God is Nigh |

"As the summer day went
on and the shadows grew
long.
He did not fear the
coming of night.
He closed his tired eyes,
and on his very first try,
went soaring on an oft
imagined flight".

Wish" by Mark Orr"
