Poem Title:
Poem
i am a soldier i fight every day i am a soldier i but still i fall on my knees and pray standing here with my rifle in hand the blasts go off, yet here i stand hit once in the chest and once in the back i will never fall unless only to pray. i look to my right and there i see Jesus the Messiah looking back at me arms raised, palms to the sky he lets me know i will not die "be calm my son for you are safe" i say to him in a shaky tone "but all i feel is nothing but hate" he tells me again, "worry not stay calm, keep your eyes to the skies above" i nod as an answer to him i look up and see only a patch of blue "do you see the good in this place of bad? when i count to three you will wake up in bed" "Father i'm asleep, this hell is just a dream?" he nods and says ONE, TWO, then THREE i wake up and gasp clasping my hands looking up to the sky to be praying again i can still see the intense love in his eyes i understand now that i heard no lies... i am a soldier i fight every day i am a soldier but still i fall on my knees and pray.
