America's bulwark, strong and true,
Resolved to defend, the red, white, and blue.
Mighty warriors, brave and bold,
Years of service, stories paroled.
Since '75, a nation's might,
On fields of battle, day and night.
Loyalty and honor, their guiding star,
Defending freedom, near and far.
In every conflict, they stand tall,
Embracing duty, answering freedom's call.
Ready to fight, for liberty's flame,
Sacrifice and courage, their noble name.
All through history, their valor known,
Rising to challenges, never alone.
Modern heroes, with hearts of steel,
Yearning to shield, the public's zeal.
Onward they march, with purpose and pride,
Fighting for justice, on every tide.
The Army's strength, a powerful force,
Heroes among us, taking their course.
Every soldier, a testament to might,
Unity and valor, shining bright.
Serving with honor, a legacy grand,
All across the land, a helping hand.
Christ
Always
There
Serving
Men and mankind
Every one, everywhere
Open hands arms and heart
Welcomes each and everyone AMEN!

So blessed, my life’s offered for the Lord…
Ordering my steps*, He drives me
Building my faith by grace-might.
Loved, braced with Spirit’s hands
Enriched to share bliss
Serving my God...
So I live
Every
Day!
*Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

H ow does he balance life and what the Bible teaches?
E vidently by practising all that he preaches.
I mpacting lives by his words and deeds,
S erving God first, above his own needs.
M odel he is, for other men to follow,
Y eah, a true Jack of all trades, you know.
H umble and loving, though a strict stickler to rules,
E xperienced, wise and quite an expert with tools,
R eal fun to be with, time with him makes me glad,
O f course, he's my hero and none other than my dad.

J-oyful twelfth September
E-ntertains your heart;
N-ice feeling for the day
I-s not going to depart.
S-eptember twelfth is mirthful,
S-erving your mind with thrill;
A-mount of warmth is large, leaving behind the coldest chill.
S-eptember twelfth is cheerful
A-nd so exciting too;
R-apture fills the place,
I-mage is in good view.
C-elebrate the occasion
A-s I always remember;
L-et me gladly jubilate the joyful twelfth September.
