A Soldier's Sacrifice
He goes off to war to defend his land
Heavy artillery in hand
He leaves his family behind
Could you be this kind?
While away his wife has a baby
He hopes he can soon meet this little lady
He puts his life on the line
For only a mere dime
Always ready for deployment
It’s mandatory in his line of employment
It’s not humorous
Injuries and death are numerous
He feels so alone
He may never come home
Thoughts go through his head
What if he ends up dead?
What is his wife to do?
yet he is still here defending you
He gives up everything
To let freedom ring
He is my hero
Please God let the death count be zero
Always in uniform
Ready to weather any storm
Alway prepared to fight
Even in the middle of the night
Their sanity they hope to keep
Many nights without any sleep
Please pray they are not hurt
They need our support
Reach out, volunteer, perhaps lend a hand
Give back to those that defend our land
Proudly wave the flag
In honor of all he gave
