Soldier

I got a spur of inspiration from an email my buddy sent me.

He fights for a reason

Even if that reason's unknown

When he's out there he cares not

If he ever goes home

Because he knows that his family

Is safe and they're true

To things he protects

For the red, white, and blue

And he serves for his friends

And his sick old grandfather

Who lays there day and night

Wishing his granson would come home

But this man still fights

For what he believes

And he loves all his buddies

Who fight at his side

And he'd die for them any day

No matter the price

Whether it's death or its freedom

The sacrifices he's made

Makes him what he is

And the thought of this tryanny

Knocking on his country's front door

Is a nightmare

That he'd rather not endure

Because he's a soldier

Fighting for the rights

Of everyone back home

And they sleep soundly at night

Because he's there

In heart and in thought

He's there

And he'll never be away

No matter how far he's gone

No matter what he has done

He knows and he stays

For the sake of the fight

He is a soldier

Author's Note

I kind of lost control of the flow because I'm still working right now and I've had some interruptions.
