My Soldier Son

He is a soldier through and through Serving our country abroad unselfishly He is brave but not without caution of view He must be strong yet very leary Serving our country abroad unselfishly Aware of enemies unforeseen by him He must be strong yet very leary They hide among his surroundings of dim Aware of enemies unforeseen by him He moves with stealth to help protect you They hide among his surroundings of dim He walks perimeters with focused fear of few He moves with stealth to help protect you They watch with harmful, cruel intentions He walks perimeters with focused fear of few They'll pounce with chance of intervention They watch with harmful, cruel intentions He is brave but not without caution of view They'll pounce with chance of intervention He is a soldier through and through Maggie Mae McAfee
