Remember our men and women in the military

I received this lovely poem from Roger Robicheau, a US Army veteran, and I was moved to share it with you.  Especially at this time of year, we think of the men and women in the armed services that are far from home as they try to keep the peace. We are forever grateful to them.  Thanks Roger for sharing this and thank you for your service to our country in times past.

Christmas brings such a time of love 

Each tender heart hold so much of.

Unselfishness thrives, trust is strong

The purpose to give, send love along.

A time of pleasantries, patience too

God wishes to all, all feelings true

Thankfulness follows each fine deed

Gifts from God, never from greed.

Great the rewards that joy does bring

Like the beauty in hearing angels sing.

We pray for our loved, each so dear

Especially those who can't be near.

Many leave home to bravely serve

All freedoms we have, they preserve

Do pray for our troops, as we should

And their families too, if you would.

Give thanks to our Lord, His only son

And cherish His Christ, everyone.

Roger J. Robicheau
