A Home's Heartfelt Tribute

In quiet nights when shadows fall,
We hold your memory hear your call
Across the miles you stood so tall
And now, at home we’re grateful for it all

You wore the badge of honor bright
A guardian in the darkest fight
Now in our living room's warm light
We cherish your presence—home feels right

Children gather, eyes wide with dreams
Excitement buzzing, bursting at the seams
We teach them of service of honor that gleams
To give and to love—that's the heart of our dreams

This Christmas together our hearts open wide
With love and with laughter, our joy will not hide
In gratitude's glow we’ll cherish this day
For the soldier we love who's home here to stay

Your sacrifice we honor- a legacy we share,
A reminder of courage, that love is always there.
Though loneliness lingered, we weathered the storm,
Our bond is unbreakable, in your arms we are warm.

So when they ask, “What makes us strong?”
We’ll tell them it’s you, where you truly belong.
With every hug and cherished embrace,
For the soldier we love, is at home in their place.
