Carol For a Soldier
May crystal chimes of Christmas,
Sing for you my son,
So far from home this day.
You stand your post,
And hold your ground,
In the endless fray.
Cold or hot and always tired,
You steel yourself with hope,
To live just one more day.
And dream of home,
Inside your warrior heart.
Still,
You stand your post,
And hold your ground.
Freedom's time will come my son.
Meanwhile may God bless you,
And stand your post beside you,
On this Christmas Day.
...a combat veteran
