For The Veterans

For the Veterans

Many went to war leaving their friends, families, and even their wives

They fought for their country: they shed their blood, so we could go on with our lives

Many died in the field as they faced their enemies face to face

So, we could continue to live our lives; because of them we are safe

Yes! Many have returned home with such hurt, and with loss of body parts

They fought for their country, because we the people were in their hearts

When you see them be sure to say, “Thank you for what you did for me,

Because of what you did for our country; I am still alive and free”

Many soldiers did not return home; we honor and appreciate them, too

They fought in many battles to protect the freedom for me and you

Thanksgiving is now upon us and to God we want to say,

Without the shedding of His blood, we would not be here today

Yes! We give thanks to the Veterans for what they have done

And we also give thanks to God for receiving us as His daughters and sons

It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of a country in which we love

Thank God for those who will fight to keep it safe; they are a true gift from heaven above
