In Honor of Memorial Day 2015 I would like to say thank you to all who have served our country and all who have left a mark on my life. I am incredibly grateful. I wrote this quick poem for a Veteran attending the National Honor Flight and also thought of my grandfather and other friends and family who have graciously served.
God Bless The Veteran
For every day you spent away
On foreign ground you had to pray
For the ultimate price you had to pay
God bless the Veteran
For the days so long no sleep did come
And every day you carried a gun
For your service that is never done
God bless the Veteran
For the dreams that keep you up at night
And every day you had to fight
when others do not treat you right
God bless the Veteran
For every night I get to pray
And all the words I get to say
For all the games I get to play
God bless the Veteran
For every night I’m safe at home
And every night I’m not alone
For every happiness I have known
God bless the Veteran
For the flag flying strong and true
For our colors red white and blue
For every little thing you do
God bless the Veteran
