Today is Veteran's Day, an honor day to recall,
A Day when all gave some, and some gave all;
The freedom of the wind blowing in your hair,
We must give thanks to our Veterans for being there;
Being where is a question that you might ask,
Back to the history books for you is your task;
Freedom is not free, somone paid the price,
Sleeping on the cold ground, and being eaten by mice;
On your iron pony, do you ride,
A Vet has hump the load and many have died;
When you hear a boom, it makes you wonder,
But for a Vet it is the sound of rolling thunder;
Patches on your vest, you do wear,
Patches for a Vet means more than care;
Words can not express, inner pain,
If you saw a Vet's world it would drive you insane;
Families themselves have paid a great price,
The soldier who came home without advice;
Who is this person that has returned me,
It's not the one, that I was expecting to see;
You wonder why I ride,
You know nothing about pride;
The red white and blue, when I see it wave,
My mind goes back and I can see the grave;
Red is the blood that splashed on me,
It is still there and only a Vet can see;
White is light that came from a flare,
It was a sign that they were there;
Blue is the colors of my toes,
It remindes of the day when they were froze;
On my bike several colors you will see,
Each color has a story that tells you about me;
A spiritual injury that touched my soul,
The gates of hell I traveled in bold;
So what is this day that is set aside,
Is it to give honor to those that died;
Maybe the day that means more than that,
How would you know, if in my place you have not sat;
On the iron pony, yes, I do ride,
On the iron pony, I ride with pride;
On the iron pony, I just don't ride for me,
On the iron pony, I am holding a key;
To all the Veterans, past, present and future,
This is the day, civilians want to meet you;
Many of them do not know what to say,
Today USA is saying, Happy Veteran's Day!
