We go to bed each night, safe and do we truly understand who protects us, who keeps us safe. Remember! Honor!

It’s quiet here, we lay our heads

Time to sleep, it’s time for bed

Our brothers in another place

Stand strong their ground, awake

*****

While sounds of guns disturb their night

They can not sleep, they swore to fight

So we can rest our weary heads

On all our pillows every night

*****

In green fatigues, strong and proud

They fight their fight and it gets loud

Not departing ‘til the war is won

Our camouflaged angels carrying guns

*****

Brothers and sisters of common green

The force of America, to keep the dream

Where people are free and children are safe

They’re the reason that we can be

 *****

So, tonight when you lay down your head

To fall into dream, within your bed

Consider those who are keeping us safe

Our brothers and sisters there overseas

 *****

In green fatigues, strong and proud

They fight their fight and it gets loud

Not departing ‘til the war is won

Our camouflaged angels carrying guns

 *****

Yet, even on our friendly shores

Angels are here, that do so much more

Allowing us comfort within all our dreams

Not quitting ever, until their job is done

 *****

Give thanks and praise this day and night

For the many who chose to fight our fight

Our guardian angels, both here and there

America’s daughter s and  America’s sons

 *****

In green fatigues, strong and proud

They fight their fight and it gets loud

Not departing ‘til the war is won

Our camouflaged angels carrying guns

Our guardian angels, both here and there

America’s daughter s and  America’s sons

    What a fine tribute to our angels. I pray for them every night since we began the war.
