Christmas is but days away
It's time for laughter, joy and play
Not everyone gets to celebrate with family
Some must always be vigilant you see
Their day is spent in protecting you and me
I'm thinking about the young sailor out to sea
Wishing he was home with his family
Lest we forget the soldier or the marine
For his Christmas day can be a violent scene
Let's not forget the nurse comforting a dying soul
A horrible event she cannot control
The policeman out on patrol all alone
Unable to call his family on the phone
The emergency medical tech racing to save a life
Possibly someone's mother, grandmother or wife
The surgeon on call ready to do whatever he may
To rush in quickly and save a life on Christmas day
Most of us will be with loved ones to celebrate the holiday
Let us not forget those those serving on watch far far away
And those here at home protecting us and saving lives every day
