To the US Armed Forces: Thanks (a poem)
Because you are watching out for me, I am safe and warm today.
I embrace the joy of this special time because you are far away.
I sing the carols of Christmas in a church just over the way.
I marvel at the twinkling lights that shine each bustling day.
Family and friends surround me with season's greetings and good cheer.
I am receiving and sending gifts. I am blessed with loved ones near.
I am safe because you are guarding me, and although you are far away,
You are close to my heart, each one of you, today and every day.
Mimi Evans Winship
