Thank You

Thank You

A Poem by Teela Bryant

 

Every day you are ready
Ready to protect
Ready to fight
There are no holidays
With what you do
 
You’re here
In my city
In my state
In my country
You’re over there
Away from home
Away from family
Sometimes all alone
 
Still you stand
Ready to defend
What it is we believe in
 
You fight
For me
You fight
So I don’t have to
Every day you stand
Ready for what may come
 
You are not forgotten
Your sacrifices are known
 
Today
I thank you
For all that you do
Today
I thank you
For keeping me safe
Today
I thank you
For watching while I sleep
 
Thank You to the Men and Women of the Armed Forces, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
