A Grieving Mother by Francis Duggan

The patriots celebrating the war has been won

But the grieving mother weeps for her dead son

Who died a young hero in a war far away

His twenty third birthday it would be today.

Out of the young war dead war heroes are made

This morning she did not go to watch the parade

Instead she placed flowers on the grave where her son lay

And knelt on the grass for awhile for to pray.

She sees her son's death as a waste of a good young life

He never had the chance to make the young woman he loved his wife

He surely would have made a wonderful dad

One of the joys in life that he never had.

Today had he been alive he'd have been twenty three

Her son was a brave man none braver than he

She wept at his grave whilst through the streets of the town

The patriots did proudly parade up and down
