Today Is A Good Day













Today Is A Good day
By John R. Greenwood

Today
Our sons and daughters are coming home
Too many lives lost 
4484 
Too many lives changed
Forever

Put down your arms 
Open your arms
Mothers 
Hug 
Your sons
Your daughters

Wives & Husbands
Hug
Your returning soldiers 
Brave
Tired 
Made in America

Today is a good day
The year is winding down
Let us rewind the clock
Change the calendar

Time to move forward > 2012
