Take This Hand
On the day when our soldiers took their stand,
leaving behind them their life, their love; A
voice inside said “this is my wish that you
defend my shores till peace returns.”
So, take this hand, it is broken, crippled for
you, your life to protect, Every time that you
look, a Memorial you’ll see, for unto to you,
I gave my all.
Let each person give thought to where I’ve been,
leaving behind them criticism and condemnation,
for where I’ve been, it brought tears and fear
yet, inside I knew, that peace would return.
So, take this hand, it has been shattered,
broken for you, your life to protect, Every time
that you see me, a Memorial you’ll see, for unto
to you, I gave my all.
To each and every person that gave of themselves
during time of conflict, I dedicate this to you,
for you truly have given your all, for each of us.
