Military Officer
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."
