A Soldier Of God

by K1n9d0m   May 4, 2005


A World War Warrior, Young But Battle Tested,
Laid His Body To Rest On The Fateful Night When The Enemies Had Manifested,
He Slept Short, A Job He Had To Do,
Hoping To Live Through This War, To Go Home To His Family Of Two,
He Cried At Night, Missing Is Family And Friends,
Hoping To Get Through This Alive, Before His Mind Begins To Bend,
They Had Little Food, His Stomach Was Wasting Away,
He Had To Go Battle, He Didn’t Sleep On That Fateful Day,
He Was A Frontline Warrior, A True Soldier Indeed,
Was Only Entered In War To Protect His Country, Had To Get Thru This To Succeed,
He Tried Hard In Life, Ended Up Fighting For What’s Right,
He Didn’t Sleep, As He Fought For His Country On That Fateful Night,
He Was Bruised And Scarred, He Had Some Battle Wounds,
A True Warrior For His Country, And He Had Told Of The Trauma That He Had Went Thru,
He Should Be Thankful That He Lived, I’m Sure he Thanked His Savior,
Praise To God Almighty He Stated, My True Religious Craver,
I Give You Everything I Own My Heart His Yours To Keep,
Thank You For Letting Me Live To Tell My Story,
That Was The Prayer He Prayed Every Night Right Before He Went To Sleep….
He Was Bruised And Scarred, Nothing That Time Couldn’t Heel,
He Got Hit By The Enemy, His Life And Mind Had Become Still,
He Seen Flashbacks Of His Child Hood, Thoughts Of Lost Memories,
His Dad’s Death, Moms Passing, And His Foster Parents Rude Obscenities,
He Dreamed Of Great Things, Young, The Mind Of The Youth, A True Child,
Crazy When He Was In His Teenage Years, But Kept His Life Pretty Mild,
He Got Married Straight Out Of High School, Shortly After The Prom,
To A Wonderful Wife, He Didn’t Know His Time Was Cut Short, Because The War Was On,
He Was Bruised And Scarred, He Had Some Battle Wounds,
A True Warrior For His Country, And He Told Of The Trauma That He Had Went Thru,
I Give You Everything I Own My Heart His Yours To Keep,
Thank You For Letting Me Live To Tell My Story,
That Was The Prayer He Prayed Every Night Right Before He Went To Sleep….
He Packed Quickly, He Was All Ready To Go,
His Troops Were Ordered Into Position, The Youth Settled Way To Slow,
They Were On The Battle Ship Ready For Deployment,
His Wife Couldn’t Work, Times Was Rough, She Had To Settle For Employment,
She Waved Bye, With Tears In Her Eyes, Didn’t Have Time To Tell Him That She Was Pregnant With A Baby Girl,
He Left To Quick, She Hoped Her Husband Would Return To Her World,
9 Months Later, A Baby Girl Was Born,
To Find Out She Didn’t Have A Daddy To Take Care Of Her, He Heart Was To Young To Be Torn,
The Mom Kept Saying Daddy Will Be Back,
With Thoughts Of Love Letters She Quickly Had To React,
She Wrote Many Letters, Telling Of His Daughter He Never Wrote Her Back,
He Was In War, Friends And Kin Had Die, But Only In A Few Days,
He Nested In A Hole For A Few Hours, With Other Troops Giving Thanks And Praise,
He Was Bruised And Scarred, He Had Some Battle Wounds,
A True Warrior For His Country, And He Told Of The Trauma That He Had Went Thru,
I Give You Everything I Own My Heart His Yours To Keep,
Thank You For Letting Me Live To Tell My Story,
That Was The Prayer He Prayed Every Night Right Before He Went To Sleep….
He Had Battle Wounds, One To His Leg, One On His Shoulder,
Could Barely Move His Arm, His Whole Body Was Getting Colder,
He Prayed To God, To Protect His Family, Daughter And Wife,
Tell Her God, That I’m Sorry I Didn’t Write Her, I Didn’t Have Time, Right Then He Was Feared For His Life,
He Had Internal Bleeding, His Skin Was Getting Cold,
Inside Is Right Hand Was A Family Portrait, The Other Hand Was Bible He Had To Hold,
He Kissed The Bible, Prayed To God Again,
To Take Care Of His Family, Friends And Kin,
He Prayed For His Forgiveness From The Bad He Used To Do,
Right Then He Was Air Lifted From The Battle Grounds Taken Back To His Family Of Two,
He Gave His Daughter A Kiss, As He Laid On The Hospital Bed,
His Wife Crept Over, And Slowly Stroked His Head,
He Told Of The Traumas He Went Through, On That Fateful Day,
Hopefully He Realized That God Gave Him The Chance To Say…
That He Was Bruised And Scarred, He Had Some Battle Wounds,
A True Warrior For His Country, And He Told Of The Trauma That He Had Went Thru,
I Give You Everything I Own My Heart His Yours To Keep,
Thank You For Letting Me Live To Tell My Story,
That Was The Prayer He Prayed Every Night Right Before He Went To Sleep….
