MS. LIBERTY
Ms. Liberty stands tall and strong while holding freedom’s light,
She represents your strength, your will to carry on the fight…
From those of us who’ve gone before and stood upon “that wall”,
We thank you all, so very much, for answering the call…
Although you may be far from home in a foreign distant land,
You represent each one of us, especially “Uncle Sam”…
The job you do each day and night, the sacrifices made,
Presents a debt for all who know… can never be repaid…
Remember you are not alone when things get really tough,
Your faith in “HIM” will see you through the really ugly stuff…
HIS blessings are beside you, with every step you take,
But foolishness in times of war, does not a hero make…
We’ll send you lots of presents, and a little mistletoe,
Along with hugs and kisses from that “special one” you know…
We’ll keep our candles burning, tie our yellow ribbons tight,
Expressing all our love for you this Blessed Christmas Night
Please know that we’re so proud of you, and all that you have done,
To help bring peace and happiness on earth to everyone…
We’ll bend a knee and say a prayer, to keep you safe and sound,
Anticipating days to come when you’ll be homeward bound…
Until that time, remember that, you’re making people free,
To do the things that freemen do, when given Liberty!
