VETERAN'S DAY, 2007Another year we've been at WarAnd a record year, of Heroes killed Will our hopes for an end to it Never, ever be fulfilled? The cost has been tremendous And surely, they don't tell us all Worse, loss of life and mind and limb As our Troops, continue to fall. Some, deployed several times More, than we should rightly ask But, they will go and do their Duty To carry out, their given task. Nearly four thousand gave their all Almost thirty thousand hurt Who tried to bring some civility To that far-a-way, ancient, desert. Many folks are against the War And there's some who do protest But one thing most all, agree on Our Military, is the very best. Let's not forget families and loved ones All, who serve our Country, too Who sacrifice and suffer for us With Patriotism, proud and true. Some of them will lose their Heroes And will hurt and cry and grieve And when handed that folded Flag They will say, "I still believe!" Maybe, "Mission accomplished!" One day, will actually be true But, till then, we must support them And tell them, "Thanks, for all you do!" And we must remember all those Who served our Country in the past To make our Nation Free And to make sure it will last. Del "Abe" Jones 11.06.2007 Last updated on Nov 9, 2007 |
