The Soldiers Life

Dedicated to my brother

 

 

The soldiers life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at any time
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by
And see the flag flying proud and high
That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.

I love this.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very strong poem. I was a Soldier. My father and his father were soldiers. The greatest respect you can give is love and a lot of letters. The Soldiers old and new are many. We must take care of each other in war and when the war is done. You done your brother honor with this poem. A outstanding poem.
