I sing of women yet unsung
Who send their men to war
And know that when they say good-by,
They may see them no more.

I sing of wives whose husbands go
To countries far away,
Who pray and wait and bide their time
And watch for word each day.

I sing of sisters left behind
By brothers sent to fight
To protect our nation’s freedom
With courage and with might.

I sing of mothers with loved sons
Who leave their family
To make their way to war-torn lands
To set those nations free.

I sing of daughters whose dads leave.
They miss their loving care.
There is no one to take their place
To be found anywhere.

I sing of women everywhere
As Milton once did state
In words so true, “They also serve
Who only stand and wait.”

I sing of women yet unsung
Who send their men to war
And know that when they say good-by,
They may see them no more
