Will Receive In Return

Will Receive in Return

My message with you thought I should share
Gracious God is above and beyond compare
I am here on earth and have been a soldier
Who was brave in battle but now grow older.

What I remember about my men the most
Were loyal in duty never leaving their post
Until they all have been properly relieved
After replacements were finally received.

On everyone in battle we always relied
Tried their hearts out until some died
Many of us remain here at home alone
Have grandchildren who are fully grown.

So message to you I am trying to send
Is that even though life comes to an end
About God and love there is lots to learn
What you give out will receive in return.
