XXXV. Holding the Line

Faith is the assurance of hope
And unseen conviction
God’s consoling grace
The silence holds the line

Without action, there’s inaction
Lack of presence at home
A family in limbo
The silence holds the line

A member of the greater whole
Lost but not forgotten
A country in mourning
The silence holds the line

You may be missing in action
Or a prisoner of war
Delayed and restrained
The silence holds the line

Your strength and conviction true
God, family, and country
In your heart, in your home
The silence holds the line
