“SO FREEDOM WILL LAST “

  By Les Davenport· 

Away from home, in a faraway land.

His duty has called him…he knows the command.

To say he’s not afraid..would just be a lie.

But for the love of his country, he’s willing to die.

He remembers his family, the laughter the joy.

He remembers the school days, when only a boy.

But being a soldier, he walks a new road.

He weathers the bad times, the rain and the cold.

Oh it isn’t for money to do such a task. Then why would he do it, the critics will ask.

Yet we see the flag flying, meaning liberty to all.

But Freedom isn’t cheap…for many will fall.

Like those before him, in wars of the past…he asks not for glory. But that Freedom will last

So what can we do for this Freedom to stay?

Let’s call on the brethren..they know how to pray.

Say “Father in Heaven ” We’re calling on you…you have all the answers. You know what to do.

Our young men are dying…..as those in the past.

God bless our dear soldiers….SO FREEDOM WILL LAST.
