Bring Us Home Again

He slowly came awake today
and he lumbered to his feet,
for it was just two hours
before that he faded off to sleep.

He donned the day's attire and
grabbed his M-16.
He headed off to breakfast to keep
him strong and lean.

As he walked down to the chow line
he kept a watchful eye.
He didn't want the enemy
to take him by surprise.

As the chaplin said a special prayer
on this very special day,
he kept thinking of his family
that is oh so far away.

He rubbed his left breast pocket
where he keeps a picture of his wife
and a letter from his daughter that
he reads most every night.

He fought back a single tear
as he stared out at the sand,
wishing he could be back home
with his family close at hand.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts
and then be on his way.
He's defending our great country
and has little time to play.

When he got out to the fence line,
his buddy by his side,
he exchanged a "Merry Christmas"
followed by a tired sigh.

He climbed upon the watchtower,
his mouth a tiny grin.
He said, "Merry Christmas to the world"
and "God, please, bring us home again".

A Christmas Rose

Each December near my home
There blooms a Christmas rose
Unharmed by snow or bitter cold
This lovely blossom grows

I know not why it does not die
When wintery breezes press
I only know a brighter world
Comes from its loveliness

A legend says that Christmas rose
Came that first Christmas day
So that a child might have a gift
Before her Lord to lay

May God’s rich gifts be yours today
His blessings fall anew
And whether skies be dark or fair
May roses bloom for you . . .

U.S. Troops, you are now and forever in my heart,
our destiny entwined as through your strength, ferocity and gentle generosity
our nation continues to breathe free
May God bless you and yours through countless generations
You are the pride of America.
