There are heart cries

in every land.

For many have been

broken and wounded.

There is a cry for help,

and these words

continues to resound.

Just and true are

are Your Ways.

Severe losses have

occurred,

and in the midst

of all of this

some of the Troops

are not coming home.

The grieving hearts

of parents and relatives

are left to mourn,

and cannot understand

Just and True are Your ways

Yet very gently

with Your Voice of Hope.

You bring strength

and impart Your Grace.

With the knowledge that

even though no one

may never understand

why only some of the

Troops are coming home.

Still Just and True

are Your ways.

You will comfort every

grief stricken heart,

and bring hope for

tommorrow.

Just know today that

each departure

is not in vain!
