He Belongs To Us

In Honor of US Marine Zack Everett

Our soldiers are so brave and true,
Always defending the Red, White, and Blue
Today I'll tell of one who is special,
I've just met him, he is a quiet vessel.

His call to go to a foreign land,
Reached the family, it's almost too much to stand
Many emotions we now will share,
Remembering to always keep him lifted in prayer.

God is the one on whom we and he will depend,
As he carries out the duty, our nation to defend
We know not what the future may bring,
But pray God will return him safely by Spring.

His Mom, Dad, and Grandparents too,
Are all feeling helpless, and very blue
Their loved one who's always been close to the nest,
Is now leaving to serve with the rest of best.

A Marine is what he has chosen to be,
But it's ok if he still wants to sit on our knee
Many soldiers will ride the same bus,
But this one is special, he belongs to us.
