Military Officer

Fri, 10/04/2013 - 00:40 -- ilr3456

Everyday he knows the price

Of what he is working for.

Everyday he faces the challenge

Of doing something poor.

Yet he knows the day may come

When he watches from the heavens above, 

As his family goes on without him 

and those boys in green grieve.

That day may come yet he toils away

to protect those on leave.

They'll never understand what he gives

so that they may be taken care of. 

This Officer with such compassion

always giving but never taking.

He ends his day with "God Bless the U. S of A, 

may she always stand brave."
