The Lone Soldier

The Lone Soldier

A Poem by grumpyhrt
"

A poem written about a soldier who thinks hes unworthy because of his deeds in the war but angels see his heart for what it is.

"


A soldier sits by the Sea
reflecting on the things hes done
hes been here
since before the rising Sun-
Because memories die hard
and the fire burns inside
a lonely, broken man
shattered and tired-
He thinks of all the choices
that hes had to make
were they right or wrong
yet to give or take-
He lives inside a prison
a hell made all his own
from all the atrocities
that he thinks hes sown-
But Angels see his heart
and know the man inside
both the bad and the good
the part he tries to hide-
Angels know the rose
has many thorns
though beautiful it may be
it carries the blood of many
and this only Angels see-
The soldier finally turned
and looked towards the sky
the tears were gently falling
for beyond the Sun and Stars
he at last heard his Angel calling.
