Tear of a Valiant Soldier
Tears of frustration!
Shed out of angst and exasperation
Exposing war's fatigue due to martyrdom exhaustion…
Soldier of valor, marching on despite persecution---
--- I acknowledge your persistence toward attainment of genuine liberation.
Tears of hardship!
Defying rigors of battle for true friendship
Burst due to agonizing distress to ensure relationship…
Soldier in good will pursuit following truth-anchored leadership---
--- I commend your stewardship for united brotherhood-partnership.
Tears of freedom fulfilment!
Tricking down midst accomplishment
Signifying successful combat-engagement
Soldier midst jubilation along justice-endowment---
--- I rejoice with your heroic achievement.
Tears of gladness!
Joy* overflowing from heart that fought for peacefulness
Expressing relief, forgiveness and gratitude-bountifulness…
Soldier marked by courage, braced upon the Lord’s loving kindness---
--- I thank your success exemplifying faith’s steadfastness
Tears of victory!
Triumphant over adversary
Vanquishing worry brought by guilt-torturing misery
Soldier** upholding what is right against hatred’s fury---
--- I salute your conquest by God’s grace and for His glory.
*Ps 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
**2Timothy 2:3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
