For Pangasinenses in uniform

By Ms. Ric

Before You Go
By Dr. Sam

Quietly you’ve all turned gray
You did your job, you saved our way
Our life of freedom you preserved
We’ve thanked you less than you’ve deserved

You never boasted, bragged, or asked
For adulation for your past
You sacrificed your youth to war
We owe you more, we owe you more

Thank you for your wondrous feats
For open speech and quiet streets
For worship as we choose to pray
For preservation of our way

You leave us blessed with every breath
That cost you arms and legs and death
You did the job you knew was right
And silently you cry at night

For bodies maimed and comrades lost
For sight s beyond our furthest thoughts
For what you’ve lived, and felt, and seen
For what the cost of freedom means

Before you go, we need to show
That in your silence we still know
What you accomplished and what you did
For who we are and how we live

So go with love from wives and sons
And daughters for a job well done
From kids who’ve never seen a tank
We give you thanks, we give you thanks

Thank you Pangasinenses in uniform!
Ms. Ric
