00:00One of the only rules on this programme is no poems, Nina, but I'm going to break that rule.
00:05I'm going to let you break that rule into a million pieces this morning.
00:08All right. Well, I should do my best for my son to read it out to you.
00:12OK.
00:15The moment passed in silence, but felt deafened without tears.
00:20You tried to hide your feelings, but in your eyes I saw your fears.
00:25I never felt so helpless watching you walk away alone.
00:30A sickling feeling in my heart. Will my boy come home?
00:35A silhouette of a soldier left me. The man I do not know.
00:40I can no longer protect him. Just give a piece of my heart to let him go.
00:46In your voice I heard such terror, but you always stayed so brave.
00:51Where did you find the strength, my love, while you were watching your fellows fall to their grave?
00:56For six months my life was lived in a bubble, going through the motions, but frozen inside.
01:03A total living nightmare, but the bubble was made up of pride.
01:08You are now part of history, a Marine held in high esteem.
01:14Never once, as I craved you as a baby, did such a hero I ever dreamed.
01:20I now realise how scared we were, because the fear has gone away.
01:26And to all those fallen soldiers, forever we shall pray.
01:31And that was for my son.
01:32That's beautiful.
01:33That's beautiful.
