““(this I wrote for our troops, amazing men & women serving our country - sometimes with great sacrifice.) Owen’s Own His girls were his world, He built his life around them. Their laughs, Their smiles, Their tears, Their sorrows; He fought for it all. Thousands of miles away, Day after day, He fought to keep them safe, Keep them from harm, But being gone, he could do it all. They weren’t hurt, his girls, But they weren’t safe anymore. Finally he could come home And truly protect his own.””
