Many Still Won't
Be Home For Christmas |

Another year, American Heroes
Are fighting in a
foreign land
And there is still, no end in sight
A
part of life they hadn't planned.
They do their duty
without question
And they all stand proud and tall
They are placed there in harm's way
As they answer, our
Country's call.
They'll get by the best they can
And improvise ingenious ways
To find a way to celebrate
The meaning of the Holidays.
Peace on Earth, good
will towards men
Is really, kinda hard to do
When all
around, there are folks
Whose only wish, is to kill you.
There are far too many families
Who will never again
know the joy
That the Christmastime can bring
And
cruel, wartime can destroy.
The lucky will return
back home
But lives will never be the same
Forever
changed in heart and mind
By humankind's unholy game.
They won't be home for Christmas
And sadly, some will
never be
But all of them will share one thing
That's
the war Hero's legacy.
So as you gather 'round the
tree
With your loved ones by your side
Think about
those, "over there"
While you enjoy, your Yuletide. |
