 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

PRAISE THOSE WHO PROTECT



Once there was a simple man
A simple man like you and me
Often said a gentle man you see
This man would raise his arms and pray
Please will someone keep me safe this day
And off in worlds so far away
Another simple man would hear the words
He had taken the challenge to save this man
So this gentle mans safety was assured
These policeman soldiers protectors of our rights
While we sleep are on the job day and nights
I as a gentle man praise those who are far away
For all the rights this gentle man has today
A soldier may have given his life on this day
So I praise all you who protect this simple man
For you see my thanks soldiers this simple man is me
May God protect you and all your family
