He Proudly Serves

My son is in the Army
Proudly wearing his uniform for all to see,
He trains hard to learn his job
So he’ll be the best that he can be.

He’s sworn to serve and to protect
To fight for the God and country he loves,
To give it all he has
No matter the threat thereof.

He looks beyond himself
Knowing what he was born to do,
And each day finds all the strength
To dedicate his life anew.

He honors our flag proudly
As she waves her red, white and blue,
Remembering all that has been sacrificed for her
Each generation through.

~

He sadly leaves behind family
Hoping that they’ll understand,
That he must do his part
To protect the freedom of our land.

To help insure that future generations
Of which his own children are a part,
Will be able to enjoy our beautiful land called America
With pride filling their hearts.

~

My son is in the Army
Saluting proudly the country he serves,
Knowing he will give her his all
For no less does she deserve.
