Remembering You
by Carol Baqui
(A tribute to all the soldiers especially to my only sister and cousins serving in the U.S. military.)
You chose the red, white and blue
Colors of freedom, colors of hope
You made a choice to sacrifice your life for mine
You traveled a thousand miles to perform your duties while your family remains behind
Day and night prayers are deliberated
Remembering you at all times and all the soldiers on duty across the world
Sometimes parents ask the question, Why?
But it was your desire to make a difference and to know you gave it a try
Every time you roll right or roll left, running a 2 or 4 mile in the hot sun, rain or snow
Remember that in the end you will reap what you sow
Don't forget your 7 core values and Soldier's decree
Hold it close to your heart because the truth will set you free
Your helping hands serve million of lives whom suffers daily overseas
But a credit to my peace and freedom on greener pastures in the U.S. and its' Territories
Your family, friends, and community are praying for you
Be safe and THANK YOU for doing what you do.
