Merry Christmas Marc...

2002

Miles away on a lonely post,

A soldier sits alone...

Dreaming back to days gone by,

Now, it's Christmas away from home.

Somewhere on an ocean blue,

A Sailor wipes a tear...

Duty calls, but still he yearns,

For the joy of bygone years.

And there among the ones who serve,

A woman thinks of home...

In service to her country,

This year, she is alone.

Away from friends and family,

The memories of home are clear...

When life was oh, so simple,

With loved ones gathered near.

Somewhere in a land unknown,

A heart cries out for home,

Where quiet desperation speaks...

"God, next year I will be there to..."

There in the lonely silence,

Soft and sweet and low...

A Christmas song begins to play,

And tears begin to flow.

For in the soft, sweet melody,

The memories start to stream...

Of, "I'll Be Home For Christmas,

If Only In My Dreams."

    So, bless the soldier who serves our land...

And the sailor across the blue,

All those who fight for our freedom,

Man, Woman, Child, Friend, Or Unknown...

With Christmas dreams to fill their hearts,

Till they come home again...

Please remember to light a candle,

To show your love for all those ...

who will not be home with their...

loved ones,

this Christmas...

God Bless Each Of You ~

Merry Christmas Marc..

We Miss YOU !!!!!!!

Love YOU !!!!!

This page is dedicated to my son -in-law, Marc Cox,

82nd airborne, stationed in  Afghanistan ... and all service men and women who can't be home, with their loved ones for Christmas,

Would you please say a prayer, for them....

Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is

due to our U.S. service men and women for

our being able to celebrate these festivities.

Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit

of what we owe.   Make people stop and think

of our heroes, who are sacrificing themselves for us.

Remember to light a candle of peace...

Love And Light Always..
