Soldiers

by Jennifer   Apr 9, 2006


Off to war
With their heads held high
Scared of course
For they know they may die

But each brave soul
Stands their ground
And aims their gun
To take the next round

In each of their eyes
Shines red, white, and blue
For they know there destiny
And thats to fight for me and you

Each letter they recieve
Drives them hard
Because they realize we believe
And thats bravery at heart

When you lay your head down
Each and every night
You can sleep soundly
Without any fright

Families may miss them
But they are also proud too
For they know the duties in play
They know what they're there to do

To fight for justice, freedom, and rights
To go to limits no country has gone
To show our strength
And drive further on
