Ode For Each Soldier

“Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.”
A warm hand salute to each brave soldier Who courageously fights in each battle Willingly waging sweet life to conquer Our precious freedom, the land’s wealth-mantle You’re great angel saving homes and nations Noble hero, making our fears dwindle God-sent warrior with a valiant soul With gifts... worthy beyond admiration And your strength is our life’s brightest candle While your faithful will-power leaves foe’s fall. A deep gratitude to each brave army For highborn mission, leaves a family Enduring the pains of great sacrifice A medal of valor seems can’t suffice You offer your life for all your brethren With unparalleled love, help and kindness You work hard, sunshine or rain at war zones Your enormous pillar is in heaven You’re a wolf guarding us with readiness Under the moonlight with your blest weapons Great appreciation dear warrior Soldier or army at battlefield’s core We owe you freedom, peace and victory Without you, nations stay in misery An honor for soldier in some ways too Such as oppression-fighter and others Each unwavering spreader of God’s words Doing all the best for His love so true To those who fight for good are God’s soldiers They're protected-- strength is from the Lord

A beautiful tribute to those who laid down their lives for our freedom written in a complicated form with the grace from God. I am also passionate about those who fought to make us free and posted a Haiku : In Memorium. Blessings, Paulette
