Has anyone heard of Tim McGraw's new song? It's called "If Your Reading This." It is about a letter that a soldier in war writes. I cry everytime I hear it. So get a tissue you if you read it, you will probably need it.

I dont mean to offend anyone, and if I do offend you by this...I'm sorry. But, I think it is a wonderful and beautiful song. It should be shared.

Here are the lyrics :

"IF YOUR READING THIS" - TIM MCGRAW

If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed where it would go.
If you're reading this I'm already home.

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home

If you're reading this, there is going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and that's okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home

This is an amazingly moving song. I hear it and start to cry as well. It was amazing when he did it on the award show live.

Being a military spouse, this is particularily touching to me, as my DH will be leaving for Iraq within the next several months. Its hasn't really hit me yet, but it will.

He brought home paperwork the other day about where he'd like to be buried, who I'd like to come to the door to notify me should (God forbid) something happen, if I'd like a chaplain present, a physcian present, who I'd like them to call, etc. etc... We had to fill out the paperwork and place it in a sealed envelope for his commander to open only in that dreadful moment. I told him I need to watch him seal it, cause I can just see him sneaking the lyrics to this song inside with a note to give them to me. I started crying just thinking about it... And, thinking about all our BRAVE SELFLESS men and women and their families who HAVE had to experience this for us to continue to live free. God Bless our Troops. And, thank you to Mr. McGraw for writing such an amazing song.
