A Soldier's Love

He bent to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground Wiped the sweat out of his eyes and carefully looked around Although, he knew this may be the end Tomorrow might not come He prayed a silent prayer There was still work to be done He doesn't enjoy this But, knows no other way To protect his people From the ones who lie in wait To kill the innocent They never think twice Blinded by hate Hearts colder than ice He remembers the towers How they fell that day The heartbroken families The hurt that won't go away And, though he is afraid He wants to do right So, he picks up his gun And walks into the night Personally, you'll never know him But, he's a father, a husband, a brother, a son With family that will always miss him Because, he had the courage not to run Dedicated to all the brave men and women that are fighting for our country......Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
