Christmas Present by Francine ~ Christmas 2007

In times of war and turmoil

In places far away

Our hearts are joined in unison

With love we send your way

We keep the fires burning

Within our homes and hearts

For every day's a precious one

Although we're far apart

Each day as you awaken

Upon a foreign soil

We think about your sacrifice

With "freedom's cry" for all

And so it is this season

When love is what we share

We reach out to our loved ones

In silent reverent prayer

We hold you close in spirit

We pray for your return

Knowing that your sacrifice

Is glory you have earned

And so it is you're with us

Until you shall return

Holding on to hope and peace

That light within us burns

We keep you close in spirit

We hold you close in thought

We know that it's life's freedom

That has a heavy cost

Our hearts are joined together

In fields so far away

Praying God protects you

In every waking day.

No matter what we think of the war we must remember

all those brave women and men who are serving their

country with the honor and dignity. To fight for the right

of others is a privilege and an honor. Not too many people

see it that way, some think we should pack and leave but

if we do that we walk away from a majority of people who

have sought freedom from tyranny and misfortune.

We as Americans no matter how we feel about the

war should understand that there are men and

woman giving their lives for this cause.

My heart and soul is with every solider who is facing

the dangers of what goes on in wars. Our hearts

go out to the families of those soldiers who have

sacrificed a great deal for their country.

May God Bless our forces and those others

who have joined in this effort of freedom.

Merry Christmas

God Bless Us Everyone!

Love Francine
