THE COST OF A SOLDIER

Folder: 
OLD POEMS

A TRUE SOLDIER IS TOUGH INDEED
STANDING TALL AND STRONG WHEN THERE IS A NEED
A SOLDIER ALSO FEELS SADNESS, PAIN, AND SORROW
SOMETIMES NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRAILS OF TOMORROW.

WHEN A SOLDIER IS WOUNDED IN BATTLE
THE NERVES OF HIS BUDDIES IT DOES RATTLE
WHEN NEWS REACHES FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT HOME.
HOW THEIR WORRIES AND MINDS BEGAN TO ROAM

A WOUNDED SOLDIER FEELS INADEQUATE AT BEST
STOPPING HIM FROM MUCH NEEDED HEALING REST
A WOUNDED SOLDIER WONDERS WILL HE EVER BE ALRIGHT
TRUSTING IN GOD THAT HE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

WHEN A SOLDIER IS WOUNDED FAR BEYOND REPAIR
THE LOSS AND PAIN FELT CANNOT COMPARE
THE COST OF A SOLDIER IS SET SO VERY HIGH
THEY ASSURE OUR FREEDOM WILL ALWAYS APPLY

TO STAND BESIDE A SOLDIER AND WALK THROUGH HIS PAIN
WILL HUMBLE A CIVILIAN, NO LONGER TO COMPLAIN
LOVE, PATIENCE, TRUST AND HOPE IS WHAT A SOLDIER NEEDS
TO GET THEM THROUGH SOME VERY TREACHOUS DEEDS.

DEAR LORD PLEASE WATCH OVER OUR MILITARY TODAY
AS THEY WORK TO KEEP OUR FREEDOM EVERYDAY
FOR THE WOUNDED AND THE FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS LOST
PLEASE BLESS THEM WITH ABUNDANT LOVE, FOR WE KNOW NOT THE COST.

THE COST OF A SOLDIER IS SET SO VERY HIGH.
OUR SUPPORT FOR THEM WE SHOULD NEVER DENY.
