For the Troops on Thanksgiving

Thankgiving Day
by: Jake Till


While you sit at the table, w/ your food on your plate.
Think of the soldiers, that are so far away
Sitting in barraks, patrolling the streets
While they're getting shot at, you're preparing to eat.
They think of their families that are so far away
Wishing to be there, this Thanksgiving Day
Sons, daughters, mothers, fathers,
They're over there serving our country with honor,
Their buddies beside them, talk of families and friends
How sweet life will be, when the war finally ends
Trains, planes, coming back home,
A hero's welcome, like the legions of Rome.
Arriving back, to relive their life
Sitting with friends to talk for the night
The war has been long, the price paid, high
While we sit home eating, they could possibly die
Before you sit down to eat dinner today
Say a prayer for our troops, serving so far away

I wrote this in honor of our troops serving abroad this Thanksgiving Day. Thanks to the sacrifices they are making we are able to continue on with our normal lives. With that said, be sure to thank our men and women in uniform. Their service to our country is greatly appreciated and has earned them the gratitude of this great nation.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Troops
