Tears of a Valiant Soldier
A valiant soldier stands before me
Eyes flooding with tears.
In one mere teardrop
I see significance, joy and fears.
I see experience and courage
And wisdom beyond years.
Battles fought. Some won. Some lost.
A hope that's grown, then disappeared.
A valiant soldier pure and true
Whose armoury is LOVE.
No need for weapons of destruction.
Someone to be proud of.
A soldier worthy of imitation.
An individual of fascination.
A person of inspiration.
A heart fighting to be free.
In one teardrop of a valiant soldier
I see a reflection of what could be.
I see the qualities that amount to
The kind of person one aspires to be.
