I GIVE MY LIFE By Tena Bastian www.tenabastian.com I give my life for your life I give my strength for your day today My family goes on without me So that yours can stand up and say... I am proud to be an American There is no other country where I would ever be The sons and daughters, the sisters and brothers Our sacrifice comes down to me The soldier who fought for freedom and the mother who sits alone Holding in her hand, the letter That says I did not make it home I give my life for your life I do this without regret I only ask one thing of you That none of you will ever forget How priceless is this freedom To young and old, rich and poor That all of you live your life to it's fullest And remember what were fighting for Not just today but every day Pause for a moment and bow your head For those who stepped up and offered their service And for the wounded and the dead. I give my life for your life As does every soldier in every war On American soil or in a distant land If I can ask just one thing more... May God bless the wounded soldier May he bless and keep those close to him now May he watch over the ones who stand at arms And help them find their way home somehow May you keep them in your thoughts and prayers May the fighting someday cease Because I give my life for your life But I also pray for peace. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. Please keep this going by forwarding it today to everyone in your life. In honor of those who fight for freedom and pray for peace, of their families who make the ultimate sacrifice, THANK YOU!
"Happy Memorial Day"
