My Little Soldier

For you, my little soldier,
I got you an army;
An army of little green men waiting,
Obeying every command.

For you, my little soldier,
I got you a car;
One that raced, and
Flashed by the tree.

For you, my little soldier,
I got you a plane;
A plane that flew, by
The ceiling fan.

For you, my little soldier,
I got you a letter;
One that gave blessings, and
Kept you safe.

For you, my little soldier,
This year I got you flowers;
Flowers that shone against the snow, and
kept vigil at your stone.
