To An American Veteran

It is people like you, That has given your time, And your life for this country, That has given us our freedoms we have, You have protected us, From all who try to take, What is important to us all, That is all the rights we have, Which is a different type of kingdom, A lot of people take forgranted, This is the freedoms and rights, We all have, Not noticing what are, In front of our lives, Cause they aren't the one's Who sacrifice as much as you, To give us the lives we have, Which means we all should, Never turn our backs on you, For everything you have done, And all the sacrifices you have made, That gives us all a true free life, Where we all can have personal strides, We should always hold you, Deep in our hearts, In our minds as well, For even if our great country may forget, You for everything you have done, We will never give up our freedoms, And we thank all of you, For doing this with no fuss.
