The Iron Patriot

The Iron Patriot Your actions they speak out to us all Even when backs are against the wall I love how you always stand up tall That is a strength for all and all Even though we don't have your sight There is something we can learn from you It's something we should and must all do Son I totally admire you Although it may not always seem that way I'll go ahead and say it anyway You signed your name where most would never think Washington would be proud if he's staring down from the clouds Your a Patriot to the core a hero amongst us all Your my son like so many others now A family of brothers standing strong against the demons that plague this land Defending here and abroad On a mountain in the freezing cold Or a desert in the scorching heat Through a jungle or into the night Son your making things alright Your mother and I were so proud On the day you came into our lives Now your an Iron Patriot hard as steel to the core never wavering always there Defending freedom for all who care We could never have asked for more You set aside your well being for all and all and for the Corp You'd lay down your life for lives you've never met You'd run through the desert and sleep on the ground That's a worthy trait and deserves an ovation We'll all thank you when your back home Cherish all you are doing and remember the sacrifices those have made to get us here When your done with the Corp and out in the world Your still a Patriot to the core We thank you for what you do for us all You take down an enemy that keeps tyranny in hand Thousands of people lost their lives 9/11 stands out in our minds I held you in my arms so tight that day On the front lines you take a stand To remove terror from our minds Instilling a sense of honor and pride This ain't about eye for an eye God don't approve of that but they're gonna pay for the treacherous things they have brought to our door So wherever you are and whenever you look to the sky whether it be the moon or the stars you see Know that we are looking up there too! So a few words to our lord' please bring them all home! To your brothers, sisters our sons and our daughters, please lord bring them all home safe and sound! Amen

Today, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
