A soldier he is
His boots are heavy with waterthe drink in his bottle just a quarter
He walks on, fearless, just with one thought
what he would feel if he would get caught
A flash of a memory of peals of laughter
of his flesh and blood his little daughter
he fights the emotions that bring tears
his mind blocking out so many fears
She must be praying for him now
he knows she must be making many a vow
his mother though old, is alert and brave
she prays day and night, for what he would save
Far away, he struggles, his comrades his strength
they must walk, bravely the whole length
this is the final, the end it must be
victory, and peace at then end they must see
the lion's flag they spot, at another hold
their courage deepens, they become more bold
"We shall free them all, We shall see an end"
he whispers to the one near him, as they near the bend
Please keep them safe, they are in service
hold them close in your prayers for the price
they pay, in braving the tortuous paths
because of them,you are here to light your hearths
WITH LOVE TO ALL THE BRAVE MEN, WHO ARE FIGHTING IN UNISON TO FREE A COUNTRY IN DESPAIR AND TURMOIL!!
