"MEMORIES OF A SOLDIER"
"MEMORIES OF A SOLDIER"
You never see them write a word,
You never hear them speak,
You never see them cry,
For they were strong when others weak.
Our country sent us to a distant land where
life was different an nobody want it us
but they needed us deep inside.
I was a soldier once
and know the stories of truth
and I can say I’ve been in war
and fought on a foreign shore.
I can tell of the scream of the dying
from bullets as men fell.
I can tell of the blood and gore
with tears in my eyes.
But i wont stoop that low
for we fought with every breath, every heart beat
an many fell i cant lie yet there are many
who dont see that sacrifice.
We fought but not for oil,
money president or congress men
We fought for this country,
we fought for eachother
and didnt matter how much we fought
people fail to understand that.
I wish every passing day
that my brother in arm where back
an all this was a bad dream.
We did what our country sent us to do
we defended this country from foreign
enemys an protected with our lives
what many hold dear, their freedom.
What was won did not balance what was lost
There isn`t anyone on earth can total the cost
So stop an pray for those who came home,
for those who didnt an for those still fighting.
Bless everyone of them an thank them
for what they done and bless them for
what they been thru cause aint easy.
Dont ask how many lives they took
or what they saw sometimes
we just wana forget and remember those who fell
doing what they new best, to be a SOLDIER.
GODBLESS OUR TROOPS AND THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.....
ONCE A SOLDIER ALWAYS A SOLDIER.....
