She looked into the eyes of her son
GOD she loved him so
She felt her heart begin to break
And the hurt begin to show

She gathered all her strength and courage
as her story she begin to tell
"Baby don't cry but I'm afraid daddy
Might be under a building that fell"

The boy looked back at his Mother
His eyes made not one blink
And the Mother's tears begin to fall
What would her baby think

You see his dad is a firefighter
And a hero from the day of his birth
The little boy loved his dad more than anything else
That could ever inherit this earth

The Mothers head begin to drop
Her forehead resting on her palm
She thought her son would be upset
Instead he was very calm

The boy leaned over towards his mom
And put his hand upon her head
In her ear he began to whisper
And this is what he said

"Mommy please don't cry
I knew daddy wasn't coming home
I talked to him just awhile ago
But it wasn't on the phone"
