the eye of the tiger

[ncauser]

Sent this to our troops when they first went to east timor.


The Eye Of The Tiger.


Our thoughts and prays go with you
As you cross the Timor sea.
To and unforgiving horror
that all the world can see.
A horror so unbecoming,
Of What man can do to man,
and we search our very souls
but truly cannot understand.

The nations will be watching
as they’ve never watched before
How you demonstrate the value
of compassion at our door
Take care but never waiver
from the principals of right
and never back away one inch
Till this Tiger is in flight.

The God of peace go with you
and share with Him ,reward
of a job ,Well Done, for justice
and a well won, Peace Accord.
Every mother will find time I’m sure
to pray your safe return
And our country won’’t forget
the gallant praise you’ll earn.
