Now, if you want to see a Patriot To show us all how it is done Who leaves a dozen behind Plus his Wife, the thirteenth one. There were tears enough from all And Pride in Husband and the Dad Plus the fear, and well wishers thoughts And from the Happiness, so Sad. The whole World has seen the Man His eleven Kids and loving Wife Who loves his Country more than most With the "twelfth one",coming soon to life. Tomorrow is a very Special Day That this Couple cannot share Because Rhonda stood beside Her Man And said, "He’llhave one more to care." A dozen Children, more than most And a Loving Family that will wait Until He’s done all that he feels For His Duty to Country so Great. How Humble he can make us feel While we sit here safe at home While this Family Man, does Duty That most of us have never known. If it wasn’t for the likes of Him And allthose Patriots gone past We’d never have the life we live And more, for sure, it wouldn’t last. 2-13-2005 Del "Abe" Jones |
