A Star in the Storm

Mary J McCoy Dressel on Mar 12, 2008

A touching poem written for our men and women who fought in Desert Storm, and for the same who still continue to protect.

We at home think of you
You, a Star in the Storm.

The sounds you hear are like thunder
Artillery explodes all around,
And you wait and pray in your bunker
As the bullets hit the ground.

Somewhere you’re out there alone
While here, we pray for your strength,
Until all of you come home again
American hearts will ache.

You’re out there–getting the job done
And your partner is your gun,
We’re here, with our hearts so warm
For you, A Star in the Storm.

Thank you for the tribute to our men and women in the service of our country.. I have one grandson who is in Iraq now on his second tour, and one who came back in January.
