The Knock on Our Door

My heart has a message

I am trying to ignore.
It says they are coming
To knock on our door.
 

I will close my eyes and

I will cover my ears,
I pray they go away
And take all my fears
 

It was some time ago

That we agreed on this life,
You wear the uniform
I serve by your side.
 

Though you protect others

Most will never know,
The dangers you face
So they can go home.
 

In the quiet of peace

Or in the chaos of war,
You serve in harm’s way
That’s who you are.
  

In the midst of confusion

You stand strong for right,
You bring freedom to many
Who sleep safe tonight.

You are my Hero and

And the light of my life.
We serve our country,
We are a team, you & I.
 

They will say you are gone,

That you’re not coming home.
But I feel you right here …
Right where you belong.
 

My heart has a message

I am trying to ignore.
It says they are coming
To knock on our door.

 

Dedicated to Those who Serve & Their

Families. Military & First Responders.
