SOLIDER

A poem in memory of someone close to me

SOLIDER

Strong and fierce the solider stood proud

Till the end he always stood out in the crowd

 

He fought through life with an iron will

Holding strong against the hottest heat or the coldest chill

 

Caring for family and friend

He protected them all, refusing to bend

 

Now rest, brave solider, your fight is done

Rest your eyes, lay down your gun

 

You’ve made us who we are, you’ve given us a chance

Rest in peace, our solider, don’t spare a second glance

 

We thank you our solider, we’ll see you again

When our own fight has finally come to an end

 

Sleep, our solider, and know how much you’ve done

Rest in heaven and feel God’s grace surround you like the light of the rising sun
