A Christmas Of Red, White & Blue

wwwwwwwww

Though trees are decorated,

And gifts are wrapped with care,

A sadness gently lingers

For the loved one who's not there.

wwwwwwwww

Children without their father,

A mother feeling alone,

At Christmas time when soldiers

Are far away from home.

wwwwwwwww

Across a massive ocean

Or upon dry desert sand,

At Christmas there's a lonliness

Some may not understand.

wwwwwwwww

The military family

Whose loved one chose to serve

Must often face the holidays

With less than they deserve.

wwwwwwwww

As they are called to duty

Sometimes on foreign shores,

We all should be reminded

What proudly they stand for.

wwwwwwwww

This year as we all gather

To celebrate the season,

Let's not forget our countrymen

Protecting all our freedoms.

wwwwwwwww

Remember them all in our prayers,

Comfort their families, too

Till we bring them all home safely,

To a Christmas of red, white and blue.
