Saluting Our Heroes
There are three colors I see
Meaning freedom for you and me
Because you fight weeks and months too
Defending our red, whit, and blue
Risking your life night and day
Every time you go away
Your heart is filled with new emotions
But through the hell and commotion
You stay strong and really steady
When needed you will be ready
To utilize the skills from training
But it is silently raining
From you eyes when loved ones send
A care package or a friend
Sends a letter saying they
Hope your safe and soon one day
A welcome home parade will find
The sorrow of war is behind
Bringing all the heroes home
Families no longer alone
Babies being seen and held
As a warm touch makes you melt
With so much love that's been waiting
Joy and happiness creating
Smiles of hope all around
Returning unhurt, safe and sound
Lighting candles for those who
Lost their lives for what they do
America will always be here
Sending out the loudest cheer
Soldiers can keep in their hearts
The next time they soon depart
Needing a reason to go on
When faith and hope fade and are gone
