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 soldier Thank god for what you do.  - Summer Sandercox
