America's Life

While most of us sat cozy,
together in our homes,
people were out in the cold relentless night.
They trudged through nights so dark and cold and,
they marched with their heads held high,
fighting, not for themselves,
but for others.
For stars brighter than day,
and for stripes red and white,
flying freely above it all.
In their hands they cradled our lives,
they protected us and sacrificed their lives,
and they asked for nothing.
They did it because they cared.
They cared so strongly,
to save our America.
To save America's life.
