Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

A Soldiers Life

a soldiers heart is full of passion 
they see things we cant imagine 
like bodies being blown to pieces 
and each minute it decreases 
the chance of ever coming home 
leaving families all alone 
sons and daughters go away 
risking their lives every day 
cause its their right to defend 
our country till the very end 
soldiers know a lot of fear 
they always need to be aware 
of whats going on all around 
in the air and on the ground 
sometimes they start to shake and shiver 
dreaming there is a red river 
made of blood and they have drown 
because it has sucked them down 
into the hell their living in 
wishing they were home again 
as parents wait without fail 
to get a letter in the mail 
saying everythings O,K. 
and they survived another day
