Who Am I

Sons and daughters march away Place themselves in dangers way For me with their lives may pay Who am I? Danger kept from my front door A sense of safety from the war I'm the one they do it for Who am I? Freedom still remains my right They address my nations plight It's for me our soldiers fight Who am I? If I don't kneel down and pray My Lord, protect them every day If with my faith I don't repay Who am I? 11/4/2011

yes who are we are human beings? what does that mean that we continually find a need or an excuse to kill each other, even the bible seems to see death in war as a necessary leveling factor it's very hard! Light & Love & Congrad's
