The true nature of a soldier
Is how he conducts himself,
In life and overseas,
He stands above the rest.
The first one up before his alarm to seize the new day.
Leading by example,
Having it the only way,
Humble in his approach
Teaching the ropes,
The true and only way.
He is loyalty to his country
Bleeds only for the pride
The Pride of the Red, White, and Blue.
He always stands tall
When he hears freedom call,
For freedom he will fall.
For tomorrow isn’t always a guarantee,
Grateful for he must be,
To live another day
Living on for the soldiers
Lost on the battlefield.
Oh, the stories that molded him into the person today,
The lessons that he still carries with him,
About the lonely nights he spent in the barracks,
The hardships he faced,
The times he almost didn’t make it.
A man of great strength,
And humility would say
That when a soldier puts on that uniform,
It displays their willingness to defend the United States,
And also displays devotion.
Always striving to better himself,
To help his fellow soliders along the way,
Laying down his life for others if need be.
Remembering what his family instilled in him
Helps him siege the day that is ahead,
Praying to God that one day he would be able to see them again.
His ability to adapt to his enviroment
He is able to sneak up on his enemies
Like a Chameleon in the dark.
Making sure no harm comes to him:
Protecting his men like a mother lion protects her cubs from prey.
Selfless acts of love
For both his country and humainty
Makes him the perfect soldier,
Thank God for making men and women so dedicated to make the world a better place.
When you see a soldier
Thank them for their service.
