Greatest Thing to Come from a Lawyer

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so

And when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

I prefer to think that this is supposed to be from a parent to a son... but what is your interpretation of how it is presented? It's supposed to be from a woman to a man, but how does this make you feel? Sending your son off to war? Or sending your husband?

FoggyImagination is an unknown quantity at this point
This could be good, but I have no idea because I can't make myself read it due to format.
