Soul of a Soldier

The soul of a soldier it keeps marching on...from battles behind to battles beyond As blood soaks the soil life seeds sprout from death protecting stray sheep protecting lost lambs As bullets hit helmets and they die in their boots Still the soul of a soldier fights for freedom and truth The soul of a soldier never once counts the cost Obeying their orders...only counting what's left and never what's lost paying the price with life,love and limbs Doing Gods work with hard and holy hands Bringing beauty to ugliness and peace in war lands The soul of a soldier...past,present and future With missions to stop the worlds cold chaos creatures From psychopathic preachers in pulpits To demon driven demigods From Hussiens to HItlers Josef Stalins to Jim jones Through Blood and bones and bravery With courage they kill cowardice and bring joy to misery The soul of a soldier never rests or relents cause there's always more battles as the day never ends with the sun on the horizon and the moon still hovers The souls of those soldiers are like prophets of power

A very poignant and descriptive write of the soul of a soldier! A sacrifice indeed for the sake of others, and particularly freedom. It makes me all the more sad to see how many people take freedom for granted and/or abuse of it. Thanks for sharing so well. Caroline.
