The Soldiers

The soldiers left The flags did wave, We’ve got a country We’ll help to save. The families stood Till out of sight, They knew their soldier Had war to fight. They leave families Who love and wait, Their off to battle Don’t know their fate. So proud of them To serve with pride, Their real feelings They often hide. It won’t be long Till they’ll be back, The time will pass quick As you keep track. So say your prayers Safe they will be, Returning back home To you and me.
