A Salute to Soldiers |

My God to beseech My life to give Your lives to save Minute to minute My guard never falls My gun be ready My country to steady Hour to hour My body becomes weary No bed in which to sleep to catch Only in the sun, brief naps to snatch Day to day My country to serve I shall never, hate, fear For my God is with me here Week to week My family I call My absence does their hearts rend, But their love they still send Month to month I visit my home. Loyal hands do I shake, My heart hate does break. Year to year, My duty to fulfill Shall I home come? Or shall I rest in Arlington? War to war, I, like many, have gone. I will go for you, Happy to live, or die, for the Red, White, and Blue. Copyright 2008 Arlii Hackbarth |
