Our Soldier



A Soldier

There is discipline in A Soldier

you can see it when he walks,

There is honor in A Soldier

you hear it when he talks.

There is courage in A Soldier

you can see it in his eyes,

There is loyalty in A Soldier

that he will not compromise.

There is something in A Soldier

that makes him stand apart,

There is strength in A Soldier

that beats from his heart.

A Soldier isn't a title any man can be hired to do,

A Soldier is the soul of that man

buried deep inside of you.

A Soldier's job isn't finished after

an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,

A Soldier is always A Soldier

even while he sleeps.

A Soldier serves his country first

and his life is left behind,

A Soldier has to sacrifice

what comes first in a civilian's mind.

If you are civilian -I am saying this to you.....

next time you see A Soldier

remember what they do.

A Soldier is the reason our land

is 'Home of the free',

A Soldier is the one that is brave protecting you and me.

If you are A Soldier -I am saying this to you.....

Thank God for EVERY SOLDIERThank God for what YOU do!

I actaully gave this poem to Jonathan before he left for MS. Jonathan loved it! There are many things that we do not think about until we read poems like this one. I love the picture by the way.
