American Gold Star Mothers
for their sacrifice,
service, and patriotism
A Mother's tears were shed today
For a battle long ago.
Her precious gift to a warrior son.
Whose fate she'll never know.
Not Heroes shiny medals,
For courage through their fears,
No ribboned badge of honor
Can match a Mother's tears.
