Was the night before Christmas
Was the night before Christmas in a far distant land
Not a creature was stirring not even the sand
The soldiers were all nestled upon the floor
Just settling down after another long day of war
When up in the sky, there rose such a clatter
The sirens rang out and everyone rose to see what was the matter
The guns started blasting, the bombs started booming
Everyone screaming instructions on who they were pursuing
It was the insurgents again, they did not care whom they killed
Women, men and children left dead in the field
Our soldiers they weep our soldiers they die
But Americans here have not a tear in their eye
For you see our government, our president, and our states
Think that having God in our society is just a waste
We take for granted every day
The things our forefathers gave us along the way
No more Christmas there will be
For our society has taken away Christ from us all
So now no man shall ever be truly free.
Our soldiers have died for all the freedoms that you have to share
Just as God gave his only son so your soul would be spared
So remember the reason for the season
And let no man take Christ away from you this holiday season
As I leave you now this starry night
Merry Christmas to all and May god bless you all this night
Darren Hager USN 1986-1996
please if you want to send this on to friends. I wrote this for all of our soldiers far and near that have given us all we have to share
