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. Written 2nd July 2022 For the "Tears Of A Valiant Soldier" contest. Sponsor: Faraz Ajmal
