The Soldier |  |
|
I am a brave soldier, serving with pride,
Backing my country when two wills collide,
With honor I fight for democratic beliefs,
Restoring the peace, bringing relief.
I'm sometimes disparaged when things go wrong,
But I'm trusting in God to keep us strong,
Run tyranny out, bring freedom in its wake,
Make the world safe for everyone's sake.
I didn't ask for this fight, but I never would flee
When duty calls, and my country needs me,
Wearing this uniform, a symbol of might,
Standing tall and with dignity, basking in right.
I fight for the freedom of all, yes, it's true,
My compatriots, family, dissidents, too,
You may not agree with chosen policy
But when you spout and spew, you denigrate me. | By Helen George
