[Verse]
Camouflage faded, traded boots for a stroller,
PTSD whispers, but my grip's on the controller.
Toddler tantrums hit harder than mortar shells,
Snack time's a war zone, Cheerios where chaos dwells.
Toys scattered like landmines on the living room floor,
Nap time’s a ceasefire, silence I can’t ignore.
Used to dodge bullets, now I’m dodging spaghetti,
Life on the frontlines, now it’s cartoons on the telly.
[Chorus]
From combat to cribs, this is my life,
Raising little soldiers, through peace and strife.
Battlefield lullabies, rock them to sleep,
Warrior and mother, my love runs deep.
[Verse 2]
Midnight cries echo, like distant alarms,
Rocking them gently, no weapons, just arms.
Every scar on my soul, they’ll never inherit,
Protect them from the past, they’ll never bear it.
Used to carry an M4, now I’m packing a diaper bag,
Tactical to practical, new missions I’ve tagged.
Homemade mac and cheese, call it my MRE,
From desert sands to sippy cups, still fighting for free.
[Bridge]
Salute to the moms in the trenches at home,
Warrior hearts, even when we’re alone.
A platoon of one, but the mission’s clear,
Love is my weapon, my shield is near.
