Of all the christmas's I've had in my life
this one's the saddest for me.
Cause' you won't be here.
You're over there
to sacrifice for our country.

I thought about why
you're givin your time
to keep you brothers and sisters safe,
and if we all would give thanks
to the Lord up above,
we'd be proud that you went away.

So for every soldier
not home for christmas
I pray that He keeps you safe.
May the Lord bless you!
May His Light shine upon you!
and I lift you up in prayer.

For every soldier
not home for christmas,
I pray that He keeps you safe.
May the Lord bless you!
May His Light shine upon you!
and I lift you up in prayer.

May your prayers be heard by them...as they struggle to fight for your safety and and seek for the peace over in that distant hot land.
Beautiful poem...and a wonderful gift.

I want to say Merry Christmas to all the heroes over there fighting for our freedoms. I also want to thank the families of these men and women who also sacrifice so much for our country. I know it is hard on all of you and I ask God to send his blessings and love down to all of you. May this sacrilage be finished soon and all home safe where they should be.

Godspeed,
Rita
