They come in every shape and size <br />From across our cherished land <br />They come in every age and color too <br />And they always take a stand <br /> <br />They go way back into our history <br />Strong men with values true <br />They loved and protected our country <br />They’ve always fought for me and you <br /> <br />Where once only men would serve <br />It’s very different now <br />For women too, sign their names <br />On a bible they take a vow <br /> <br />They vow to put their lives aside <br />No matter what it might take <br />Their children wait at home for them <br />Oh, such sacrifices they make <br /> <br />The parents of these men and women <br />A beloved daughter or a son <br />Or perhaps a child’s parent <br />They are heroes every one!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heroes-every-one/
