A Soldier

There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier,
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier,
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man 
can be hired to do.
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after 
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier 
even when he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are a civilian- 
I am saying this to you....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do/.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is "Home of the free", 
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
If you are A Soldier-
I am saying this to you....
Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!
