• 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.
