Thinking about the sacrifice my daughter is making, leaving her 2 year to do her duty for her country inspired this song

sitting here holding this little girl
so much like her mother with her soft blond curl
the daughter of my daughter who is faraway
and I'm praying every minute she'll be back someday
across the water in a land not free
they're fighting for our dream of how the world should be
I know she's scared but she'll act brave
she's gonna walk the talk, she's always been that way
she's my soldier girl
my little soldier girl
chorus
my soldier girl and she stands tall
she didn't hesitate when she got the call
cried some tears, held her baby tight
said, momma kiss her for me, each and every night
my soldier girl

reflected in the eyes of this little one
I see my daughter dancing in the sun
riding her pony, flyin' like the wind
lives were so much different then
barbie doll, all in pink
baseball gloves, skinned up knee's
she's all grown up, she's grace and light
now she's doing what's hard, she's doing what's right
she's my soldier girl
my little soldier girl
chorus
bridge
now I know this courage comes from above
I'm so proud of my girl and who she's become
begging you lord if it's in your plans
send her home to us,
she's in your hands tonight,
hold her tight
chorus
