The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

A Soldier's Angel's Poem

Mrs Greyhawk

(HT: Soldiers' Angels New York)

A poem from Soldiers' Angel Karen:

I am a Soldier’s Angel, God chose me to take care
Of all our men and women, in a world that is not fair

I write them and send packages and pray for safe return
That is my job I’m proud to say, and how much I have learned

This Christmas will be different, most certainly for me
I ‘ll be the Christmas Angel upon my Soldier’s Tree

If he should cry and feel alone this coming Christmas Day
God please help me, to put in words, just what I want to say

I honor you with all I am and guard your life you see
You make such sacrifice for those, you cannot, even see

I watch I wait I listen on this sweet Christmas Day
For today’s my turn to make you proud I hope you are I pray

For no one’s more deserving than a hero such as you
You keep us safe each day and night with all you say and do

I am your Christmas Angel upon your Christmas Tree
I hope some day when you are old, sometimes you’ll think of me

Even if, there is no tree at all, you’ll look at me and see
I’m with you now I’ll be with you then, So please remember me

When I am old I shall recall in such sweet memory
The day I stood on top that day, upon my Soldier’s Tree

Love,
Karen
