Veterans Day

Can we ever know
The price that the veterans made
For all those who served paid in so many ways
With their minds, their hearts
 and the time when they were away

For it’s been a long, long journey
 that they have had to make
And even if they are back at home
Those things the did brought changes
To the lives they live today.

 The wounds that were received
left scars that can’t be seen to many
but they still have all the memories
and the price they had to pay
 is still being paid in so many ways

And we pray for their lives to be restored
And their loved ones to all be there
And be strong as they support them
For who know what it takes
 to always love through the hardship and fear.

And we still pray for peace
And we hope the world is getting there
But we know it’s a long, long journey
And we still have a lot to do before it’s here.

And we stop today and recognize
For the service that they gave
And for all the veterans who gave the lives
We send out our heartfelt prayers.

For they made such a sacrifice
And who can know how they did what they had to do
 and the courage it took
and the pain that they endured

And so on this Veterans day
We stop and say thank you
For the service and strength
And may the blessings of God’s peace
Be with you and be there with you
 And when your in need
 may you find help upon your way.
