A Christmas Poem To The Troops country as flag
To our troops throughout the world...
I'm writing this poem for you...
For I've also spent a Christmas...
Serving my "Uncle" too!

It was some time ago...
But it seems like yesterday...
That's how it will be for you...
As you watch time slip away!

Enough of me already...
Let's talk some more of you...
And how at Christmas time...
You feel the way you do!

You're in a far off land...
And home is far away...
But your duty is your utmost
To the good old USA!

You miss all those back home...
It's a natural thing to do...
Especially during Christmas...
Because they're also missing you!

So on this special day...
When you have a moment free...
Think of the child Jesus...
Who was born for you and me!

Remember also this...
The love that's sent to you...
By the millions of grateful people...
Who are supporting what you do!

Merry Christmas!
