A Salute To Soldiers

Marching on to battle in the land and home of the free Far away from family and the love ones they long to see Yearning to be with the ones at a place they love at best Braving the harsh weather just to pass freedoms test The seeds of war and unrest had already been sown Fighting the battles with dangers unaware and unknown Crouching at attention in a ditch so deep and narrow Wading through waters so high and sometimes very shallow Secretly stalking the enemy under the dark cover of night Forever on the watch with all their strength and might Treading ever so cautiously over booby trapped mines Careful not to cross over to the side of the enemy lines Waiting for the time when the battles will begin to cease All Hail! to the brave soldiers fighting to keep the peace The high cost for freedom can never be paid at the most Many had lost their lives and others stayed on their post Copyright 2013
