Old Soldiers |
 |
|
Know they aren't heroes!
Know the fear that burns
from armpits to toes!
Know promises kept.
That Jesus wept!
The courage of brothers
who died for others!
Know ... precious is Life.
The love of a Wife
... and remember the prayer
they made 'over there'!
May stumble a bit
... but they keep it!
The brotherhood shared
with those dead... who cared,
must be honored every day!
To God alone we pray!
"Bless all who served.
Each and every one!
Lord, welcome us home
when the Battle is won!" |
