Families Are Heroes Too

FAMILIES ARE HEROES TOO Families are Heroes too They hold the candle for you With strength and honor They make it through Children missing mom's and dad's They wait in faith to be glad Watching the door for their surprise With joy and excitement they wipe their eyes Phone calls and letters in patience they wait Hoping that their families won't be late Days and months will surely pass We pray this war will soon be past Guardian angels watching over them When times get hard the light grows dim Weeping may endure for the night But joy will come at daylight The Lord you sees all the children down on their knees Every night in prayer he listens and sees They pray" Lord keep my mommy and daddy safe Please bring them home for your name sake" Amen" Soon again their families will meet With open arms they wait to greet Welcome Home  Mom or Dad You are here and we are glad   ©Copyright 2005   Susan R.
