IF IT BE HIS WILL
My wife & I at my U.S. Air force Security Police Reunion
Wright-Patterson AFB in October of 2011 in Dayton, Ohio.
At times the pain I deal with is very extreme
Waking up suddenly from a very restless sleep
Those sudden spasms of muscles is excruciating
It is the pain that I now face more and more
A left over reminder from my own time in war
Just one of the disabilities I am now facing
I can feel bitter at times due to this fate
But in reality my fate could have been worse
My own life could have ended in South Vietnam
But instead I have been counted as a survivor
I came back home to my own family eventually
Thousands of others had never got this chance
So regardless of these disabilities now faced
I have been truly blessed by God in Heaven above
I am so grateful for all the blessing received
I will continue to face each and every new day
Regardless of all the painful memories & results
It is a very small price that I have paid since

Please never forget all those who gave up everything to protect and
defend yours and your family's freedom, we never enlisted for life
yet we are still serving every night and day as we continue to face
the many issues and the results from our own time serving in war.
