Our Angel Warriors

Our Angel Warrior’s

We talked and played in the sand and surf before you shipped out.
I was scared that I’d never see you again.
I knew deep down you were too!
I could feel your heartbeat as you soothed my soul, holding me tight.

You told me that you were God’s soldier.
Fighting for those who could not, like you, you said!
Tears flooded my cheeks once again.
I still didn’t understand why, but I was young.

Now, I’m older, and you think I would understand.
Why people fight with each other is beyond me.
Our loss of loved ones is at a high cost.
For the freedom we highly want.

It breaks my heart the things that people do to each other.
It’s devastating to our Angel Warriors, never to be the same!
You lose so much of your innocence in the process.
That price is too high to tell the truth.

God gave us brave souls to rise up and fight for others.
I cherish those who give of themselves.
They lose so much time with loved ones for all.
Battling evil to keep us safe and free to worship.

You put on the Armor of God to shield you.
You would even fall on your own sword to protect others.
You fight for the innocent around the world.
But mostly for your family’s safety and freedom.

You are Our Angel Warriors.

I would love to thank those who nominated this for an award. It is an honor!

My entry for "HONORING OUR VETERANS "  August 2022.

Second place winner

It was several months ago, that the thought came to me that our soldiers fight for our freedom to worship our God. Hence "Our Angel Warriors" it became. If you're wondering, yes, I saw him a couple of times again after he came back. But I started thinking that I needed to include my youngest son, baby brother, cousins, uncles, and a few boyfriends as my Angel Warriors! I know and have so many family and friends who have served and returned changed never to be the same. I dedicate this to those I know and love. Thank you for being my Angel Warrior's!
