Soldiers

You are our Pilars,
Standing stronger than strength,
Through the erosion life sends us,
And the cracks reality strikes you with,
You Perservere.

You are our Armor,
Withstanding the odds of the impossible,
Absorbing normally fatal blows,
And through the pain and agony,
You Perservere.

You are our Minds,
Filtering out the junk thrown at us,
Trudging victorously through thought,
And through tribulations of life,
You Perservere.

You are our Angels,
Constantly battling and endless war,
Our prayers are with all of you,
But even when they aren't,
You Perservere.
