"Some Gave All" –
A Veterans Day Prayer Poem
✝️🇺🇸🙏🪖❤️
O Lord of hosts, our Nation's stay,
We bow our hearts this Veterans Day.
For those who served, both great and small,
We thank You, Lord—some gave all.
They marched through fire, through fear, through night,
To keep our banner gleaming bright.
Their courage lit the darkened way,
Their faith still guides our hearts today.
From sea to shining sea they stood,
Defending peace, protecting good.
While some returned to freedom's call,
We still remember those who gave all.
Their names are carved in stone and sky,
Their valor lives, they did not die.
For in Your arms, O Lord, they rest,
Their battle won, their souls now blessed.
Bless every soldier still who fights,
Through sleepless days and endless nights.
Let angels guard them where they fall,
And whisper softly, "You gave all."
Let widowed hearts find peace in You,
Let wounded souls find healing too.
Let children know, both near and far,
Their fathers' faith still lights the star.
And may our Nation never fail,
To honor those who bore the nail—
Of sacrifice, of duty's call,
Who fought for one, who died for all.
So let us kneel, both proud and small,
In reverent prayer this sacred fall.
Lord, keep us faithful, strong, and true,
As they were once—through all they knew.
For freedom's price, we can't recall,
Without a tear—some gave all.
Amen. ✝️🇺🇸
Thank you for your service 👍
