Remembering a Soldier
He remembered 911 and shook his fist,
folded up in spite.
He said he won't forget the men it
took to set this terror right.
So, off he went to right the wrongs
and protect our world in war.
A soldier now, who, with bravery, knew
what this war is for.
He was a man, a father too, with many
family and friends.
He became a soldier, for his loved
ones and country he defends.
He prayed that no matter what would
happen, they'd be safe at home.
As he knew little truth about the
sites and country he would roam.
There was little light, no luxuries,
bad food, and dust flew in his eyes.
There was the injuring or killing of
his comrades, as he saw their demise.
But still, he went on to do his best
to make his home a better place.
And fought his best, with God's grace,
and courage on his face.
He saw his family rarely and
unspeakable things were seen.
He loved this country so much, but his
attackers could be mean.
One day, protecting a few soldiers,
his bravery was to come alive,
As all he thought of was to be the
best and for that he would survive.
All 3 soldiers are safe now for their
families to see once again,
Because of the courage of this
soldier, they all gathered then.
What they saw was something wrong but
not surprising at all.
The one young man lie next to a babe
of war, after saving 3 mens' fall.
So, one thing is true in nature, one
thing I can see.
No matter where we go, there is still
humanity,
But people suffer and countries fall
to a few who cannot find,
What one man will do for us in war and
the wars of mankind.
So, share with us on this day and
every day you can,
A strong heart, some love, and praying
for God's hand.
To help our men at war, with the
poverty, suffering, and pain,
That we can not only take this day and
just this day we pray,
But always love our soldiers and put
our hearts into the campaign.
Of prayer and remembrance of our
soldiers each and every day.
