"Soldiers"
Soldiers were once children,
Just as we too, were a child as well,
And Soldiers also have a heart,
But are hardened, so you can't always tell.
Soldiers are also human,
And sleep, just like us, each night,
Soldiers are there in life today,
To help make things right.
War has changed in many ways,
Through out the course of time,
It’s written in the Bible,
We can see it, line by line.
War today is more about,
The love and well being of man,
And keeping peace through out the world,
As with God's Love, only Soldiers can.
Yet, a Soldier is someone's child to love,
What ever their military life
A soldier is also someone's
Brother, Sister, Daughter, Son or Wife.
A soldier is also a Father, Mother,
And they can get it really rough,
To offer to give their life for another,
Can never be appreciated enough.
So a prayer to God, in Heaven above,
Lord grant all Soldiers, forever more,
That they don't fight to conquer,
Rage violence and rage war,
But that they fight to liberate,
All men, to set them free,
Bring hope and love for mankind
My Lord, my God, Hear me.
Let a Soldier be, a source of strength,
A teacher, and a guide,
And someone mankind looks up to,
With loving trust, hope and pride.
Amen
