The Veteran
For every hero on the stageOn parade or in the grave With medals pinned and glory flags unfurled The humble serviceman by scores Packs the caissons, Guards the doors Sails sea and sky across the troubled world Comrades in arms they share the call Who stepped across that line for all Knowing well that fate might call their name They crossed that sword mark in the dust For freedoms sake and God they trust And did it not for fortunes gold or fame So on Remembrance Day give thanks To veterans past and current ranks And Praise Eternal God that they were there Oh quiet heroes, every one Without your hand, naught would be won Pray our acclaim, the purest badge you wear -- Beto Ochoa Posted by: Steve White 2007-11-12 |
