Thanks Dad

Think of us oft, when you travel afar, On orders protecting, lives we enjoy; You and your pals, family superstars, We miss you every time, you must deploy. And while you’re away, the kids will move on, School, sports, church—and nightly prayers for their Dad; Strong daily living; a life marathon, Until your return, our love ironclad. Many folks benefit from your good will, They honor volunteer service no doubt; And when you return, back to the sawmill, Our own return to normal, comes about. Thank you. We love you. You are our hero. Our resistance to your service—zero! August 17, 2018
