THOSE NOW GONE
By Roger W Hancock


Those Now Gone
(Memorial Day)

©2002 Roger W Hancock (www.PoetPatriot.com)
















Fallen Servicemen,
for country fought;
liberty, freedom,
the primary reason.


They gave themselves,
that we be free


Fathers, mothers,
sisters, and brothers;
our dearly departed,
life for country given.


Families broken,
for liberty.


Veterans who served,
and lived to tell;
the horrors, and risks,
now sleep in peace.


Served their country,
for our security.


Unknown Soldier, MIA
remembrance our way;
to honor you as well,
victims of a warriors hell.


Served, now lost that,
our lives be free.


Sleep now sleep tight
rest now, duty done,
price paid in life or death.
The vigilance now be ours

PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, your coming in the flesh to ransom us from slavery to
sin gives us cause for great rejoicing even in the midst of trials
and pain. Help me to patiently and joyfully accept the hardships,
adversities, and persecution, which come my way in serving you.
Strengthen my faith and give me courage that I may not shrink back
from doing your will".
