You Bought Me Time

You gave your lives in World War II,
And even though I fought with you
I lived - was it my due?
You bought me time!

Time to see my family grow,
See my grandkids' faces glow -
Things that you will never know,
You bought me time!

Time to work and time to play,
Watch a sunset after day,
Watch my garden grow in May,
You bought me time!

Stanley Cups and Super Bowls,
Worked at my job - achieved my goals,
Wore many hats - played many roles,
You bought me time!

Sixty years and even more,
I've lived since that so costly war,
No aircraft whine, no cannon roar,
You bought me time!

And now I'm over eighty,
I've had a life both full and free,
I thank you all eternally -
You bought me time!
