| Families Are Heroes Too |

| Families are heroes too
They hold the candle too
With strength and honor
They make it through
Children missing mom’s and dad’s
They wait in faith to be glad
Watching the door for their surprise
With joy and excitement they wipe their eyes
Phone calls and letters in patience they wait
Hoping that their families won’t be late
Days and months will surely pass
We pray this war will soon be past
Guardian angels watching over them
When times get hard and the light goes dim
Weeping may endure for the night
But Joy comes at daylight
The Lord sees all the children down on their knees
Every night in prayer he listens and cares
They pray, “ Lord, Keep my mommy and daddy safe”
“Please bring them home for your name sake, Amen”
Soon again their families will meet
With open arms they wait to greet
Welcome Home mom or dad
You are here and we are glad | By Susan R. Smith
