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
