i wrote this for the soldiers that mean the world to me..come safely.
We sometimes seem to forget
the simple things in life that we take for granted
We look at the sun coming up and forget that for
some, that is the last sunrise they may ever see
We hear a song on the radio and forget that for
some, that is the last song they may ever sing
We see our children, family and friends every day
but for some, it will be the last time they will ever be held
So today, I say thank you for the simple things
that life brings to us
For without you there wouldn't be a world of simple things
A soldiers life isn't always simple, but hard and lonely
This soldier, who has so much pride
Not only in himself, but in his country and fellow man
Who takes all those simple things in life and
treasures them and holds them dear to his heart
Who looks at the sun coming up and gives thanks
that he has seen another day
Who hears a song on the radio and remembers home
as he sings off key
Who holds a child that has lost family due to a war
that is not their fault, and is thankful just to be alive and safe
So from the bottom of my heart, I give thanks for giving me
another sunset, another song to hear, and my family to hold in my arms
Come home safely and may you all be blessed, knowing that there
is someone at home that is thankful for the simple things
