‘Tis fitting that we honor those
who fought on land and seas,
but are we overlooking some
who fought upon their knees?
For those who fall on battlefields
far from their families,
our gratitude should be expressed
sincerely on our knees.
But never underestimate
the sacrifice of these
engaging in fierce warfare
and combat on their knees.
Not every person knows first hand
the mighty power that frees
the souls of men, and nations too,
is wrought upon our knees.
Yes, many have engaged in both
by muscle and through pleas,
and won a battle, almost lost,
by conquest on their knees.
The cause behind the triumph oft
no mortal fully sees.
‘Tis God who turns the tide when we
get humbly on our knees.
