WAR'S TOLL

Patriotic

 
 

Let us never forget the many lives that have been lost in war. And let us also remember to honor the families of those brave men and women who have given their all for our freedoms. May God bless them always.   It’s a day of celebration for baseball games with friends. while somewhere ‘cross the ocean a life comes to an end. The news will tell about it, though the blurb will be quite brief; we may never see the faces of the loved ones left to grieve. We may never know the story of the ones who gave their lives, but there would not be freedom if it weren’t for sacrifice. Husbands, wives and children have felt the bitter loss; to them this war is personal, for they have paid the cost. And there are many loved ones from the wars of long ago who’ve also faced the sorrows and seen the deadly toll. So say a fervent prayer for the soldiers who now fight; ask God to keep them safe every day and every night. © Forrest Phelps-Cook
