Military order of the Purple Heart
Being a Military of the Purple Heart member
simply loving a Purple Heart recipient days
can sometimes be very long seated with these
brave men and women the strength of our very own
purple heart members long hours so many
worthy causes meetings with leaders to continue
building memorial parks supporting our troops
volunteering with gold star mothers amazing joy
supporting disabled veteran the look in the eyes
of a veteran pierces your soul the sacrifices
are unmeasured instantly felt as we load off boxes
for our troops supporting their needs best we can
always seems to feed my heart warms my hand
many times these boxes marked from the USA
are simply all they will see on any given day
thank you service is truly all you can say
while being deployed we watch the roaster
of who will be returning who will be laid to rest
comfort families in need pray for the missing at best
preparing the taps like any other family we are a proud
purple heart family meaning timeless volunteer hours
always doing my part Special Olympics touches my heart
competing with my peers someone who sees my flaws
and honors you for even coming out today I'm in awe
the many blessings living with a real true war hero
the bravery uncanny the way they look at you saying
you're the brave one for loving them for supporting
your troops for donating countless hours my eyes waver
chapter Chaplin holds my hand as we gather and pray
thank you for your service sir is truly all you can say
knowing the work hours are mostly supporting those
who are no longer with us why their fight keeps us
going this reason is solely and unselfishly so that
our missing when ever found and the future deceased
veterans will have a home on this soil where we can
and will lay wreaths so their loved ones can have a place
to mourn anytime while every year another purple heart
member will get to be flown out on an Honor Flight
to Washington Dc and visit the giant memorial wall
graves and names of those never found but will always
be remembered we are humble my husband was selected
for the Honor Flight everyone congratulated him on
such an Honor he actually turned it down to attend our
granddaughters aero space academy honor ceremony
he's our very own private hero I really adore what I do
to be so very fulfilled helping others there is no other way
salute them thank you for your service is all you should say
giving supporting honoring is to ensure comfort and healing
to all our troops veterans their families my rewards are
thee unmeasurable hugs the feeling of giving of yourself
to others our support doesn't stop there the future
the young cadets space force Army Airforce Navy
Coast Guard Marines the sheer joy gathering with
our future brings me such peace my military family
helping others our mission reaches our first responders
and law enforcement volunteering with the future pups
in training to work and become emotional support dogs
a rapture of giving to others a quilt of kindness a blanket
of truth awareness my heart is always filled with such joy
I am a proud lifetime Military of the purple heart associate
Thank you for your Service.
