Today is National Armed Forces Day, so our flag is flying out there;
We smile at these brave people, and every day we mention them in prayer.
Ideas come to mind, so we don’t just recite some formal kind of word,
and we’re thankful to know all of this the LORD has seen and has heard.
Our verbal and heart-felt communication is not just “let’s pretend.”
Hopefully, you too have found God's peace when your honest prayer you “send.”
