Our heroes

Give their lives

For our freedom

And put their safety

Before their own,

I pray every day

To sustain your hearts

Of courage

And to keep you

Safe from harm.

These words are my way

Of saying thank you.

I’m praising you

For a job well done,

A job that is dangerous

And stressful

All the time.

I often wonder

What kind of person

Has a brave spirit.

Thankfully

It is you!
