My dearest Soldiers
so little appreciation given
for all you give
never enough thank you's
for a job done
either way you come home
the honor you bestow on us
to wake up everyday
and know you are there
to protect us
to the children who will grow up to
be in your shoes one day
those who just yesterday playing soldiers
and today go off to war
i pray your safe homecoming and
welcoming smiles
with hugs and kisses from loved ones
i wish for you to come home.....
