My Soldier
He is loyal to his country
He will be there when they call
He works too many hours
But won’t complain at all
When allowed his family follows him
Sometimes he goes alone
In harms way he often finds himself
Longing for his home
Many stand behind him
And remember him as they pray
Others don’t receive him well
And turn their heads away
This man is the soldier I love
And of him I am proud
“Be strong and safe My Soldier”
I often pray aloud
The last time that I held him
Was when he left to fight
The next time that I see him
May be in Heaven’s sight
So pray for all the Soldiers
Who risk their all for you
For your freedom of speech
Religion and your right choose
Remember the sacrifice his family makes
As he walks out the door
Think of his country and his flag
And all that they stand for
