Paying Tribute

This tribute is to those who gave,
All for others, then were put in a grave,
We salute you!

The men'n women currently defending, freedom,
Gain our admiration'n respect, for we certainly need 'em,
We salute you!

In honor of adoptive parents that give,
A lifetime of work, so others' can live,
We salute you!

Medical personnel caring for the ill,
May God's healing hand, direct thy will,
We salute you!

Public servants enforcing the law,
Making civilians behave'n all,
We salute you!

To firefighters risking life and limb,
Where angels fear to tread, whether her or him,
We salute you!
