Our America

You fought for our country brave
 and strong, you gave your all the
 best you could.
 
You prayed so hard I felt your tears
 when blood warmed the dry hard
 ground.

You called for help and the angels came
 with brilliance and comfort they gave
 you strength.

You still fight the war but now inside
 to try to make people understand that
 love comes from within, not from the
 depths of darkness.

You will always be a brave American
 in the hearts and souls of all America
 the home of the Free and
 the Brave..

Thank you for your protection our
 fighting men and woman and those who
 have laid down there lives for America

“God Bless Our America"
