Our Soldiers
Another tour of duty, the days so long,
away from their family, longing of home.
Orders are given, and a soldier stands tall,
sacrificing tomorrow, sacrificing it all.
Some people don't understand, just what soldiers risk,
they have never said good-by with a tearful kiss.
Working in conditions, most could not bear,
in the middle of nowhere, have you ever been there?
Friends they encounter while so far away,
close to their heart, forever to stay.
Nights are no different, always on call,
ready for combat in no time at all.
They don't take for granted, this freedom we expect,
their job is to protect us, they deserve our respect.
Many a brave warrior, has stood where they are,
here on the home front, and in lands so far.
A package of thanks is not too much to ask,
friends showing gratitude, and that memory will last.
It does not matter if you have no one there,
remember their sacrifice, and the uniform they wear.
It stands for Freedom, for one, and all,
and they proudly defend us, they answered the call.
They are our soldiers, yours, and mine,
embrace them with honor, for they are the best. you
will ever find.
