| The Veteran |
|
You answered the call and Gave of yourself to God and country. Back home, we were omitting God Out of the Pledge of Allegiance ... Taking prayer out of school; Thinking this was the right Thing to do and it was cool ... Removing the Ten Commandments From the Courthouse walls, While you stood up ~ brave and tall. We commend you for fighting For our rights and freedom ... For making this world a better place. I bow on my knees and pray for Your humbleness and saving grace. A vet is a powerful tool. He is a HERO, our buddy, and One who has learned to follow rules. They enlisted and put their life on the line While some sit back, in silence, and pretend That, someday, everything will be fine. Lord, help us to not forget The veterans who fought and lost their life. Be with them during these times, while they are enduring such division and strife. Stand up with your beliefs and Praise God for another day! Let these Veterans be in our hearts As we salute you on, this, your Veteran's Day. |
