Welcome Home!

Survivors

In times of war
The worries are many
Worries for those fighting
For their safety
Do they have all they need?

Then we hear that they fall
We grieve for our loss
And the worries begin again

Worries for the fallen
For their care
And respect
That the fallen will be forgotten

And yet, how many of us truly remember the rest...

The survivors



Those who carry the memories in their souls
Of unchangeable moments
Each is desperate to undo

Rather than having memories of friends
Some are haunted by ghosts
Ghosts of those unable to return home

Survivors...

We know you did your best
We know you would trade your life to bring them back
In spite of the grief
Please find peace

You can keep their memory alive best of all
Remember that your life can be a tribute to the fallen
A testament to the love and honor you shared
Find honor in being the survivor
For we love you just as well.
