More Than A Name On A Wall

I saw her from a distance
As she walked up to the wall,
With a little boy beside her,
And a face that I recall.

She took out pen and paper
As to trace her memories
And the little boy said “Mama,
That’s the same name as me.”

She said, “Son, it’s someone special
And he meant a lot to me!
Even though you’ve never seen him,
I know he’d be proud to see
A young man who looks just like him,
Who’ll grow up strong and tall,
And son I know you’ll understand
Your daddy’s more than a name on a wall.”

She said “He really missed the family
Being home on Christmas Day;
And he died for God and country
In a place so far away.

I know it’s hard for little boys
But I think you’ll understand,
So son, just be proud of it,

‘Cause God surely knows I am.”

She said, “Son, he’s someone special
And he meant a lot to me!
Even though you’ve never seen him,
I know he’d be proud to see
A young man who looks just like him,
Who’ll grow up strong and tall,
And son I know you’ll understand
Your daddy’s more than a name on a wall.

Son I know you’ll understand
Your daddy’s more than a name on a wall.”
