"I Got Your Back"
(author unknown)
I am a small and precious child, my parent has been sent to fight...
The only place I'll see their face, is in my dreams at night.
They'll be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud.
My parent's got your back.
We are caring Moms and Dads. Our child has gone to war...
Our mind is filled with worries that we've never known before.
Every day we try to keep our thoughts from turning black.
We may be scared, but we are proud.
Our child has got your back.
I am a strong and loving spouse, with a spouse who had to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my loved one pack...
My heart may break, but I am proud.
My loved one's got your back...
I am a Military Person... Serving Proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home.
It's me who's got your back.
We honor the Heroes we have lost, who valiantly fought for our freedoms and we honor our Heroes who continue to serve our country and fight the good fight. May God watch over them, bless them and keep them safe.
Dedicated to Every American Veteran
For those who willingly risked their lives,
For sisters, daughters, Mothers, wives,
For those who stood and marched away:
A heartfelt Thanks to you today. For those who stood in foreign flood,
In cold rain and clinging mud,
Who saw their buddies drenched in blood,
Yet knew their cause was just and good;
A heartfelt Thanks today. For those who stayed at home to pray,
While sons and husbands marched away,
And those who never saw the day,
When love returned safe, home to stay;
A heartfelt Thanks today. For those who fought when even they,
Believed there was a better way,
And gave their lives and limbs to say,
I answered the call, I was made to pay.
A heartfelt Thanks today. Oh yes, there is both pain and grief ,
Mixed in with tears of sweet relief,
For those so willing their life to give,
That we may safely dwell and live.
I could not judge them either way;
But I MUST send my Thanks their way. by Doxart May 22, 1998
