There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
If you are A Soldier -
I am saying this to you.....
Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!

There is no reason for the soldiers to be fighting this war, greedy fucking leader is what the problem is. But thats besides the point. Good rhyming. but most soldiers have no brains and dont know how to think for themselves. fighting for a rapist. Sorry if you dont like the comment but its just my thoughts flowing on the screen. well written!

This was a great Poem and just in time for Independence Day. Some say I am a little too patriotic for my own good (I have an American flag tattooed on my ankle) but I can't help but be proud of the soldiers for their sacrifice. Maybe it has to do with the fact that many of my family members are Soldiers, including my two younger brothers. Wonderful piece. =]

Punk, I can't see how you can make a generalized statement like the one you made about soldiers not haveing brains or the ability to think for themselves. I understand your misgivings about the WAR, but don't shoot the messengers eh?

Lemon, I'm not talking about all soldiers. I'm just speaking about the ones I know. The ones that i know say 'hell yeah we gonna go kill some terrorist bitches and serve the almighty president! he says they be some terrorist so we gonna go kill them sonsofbitches!"

I'm sorry, as i read the previous comment i made i realize how i sounded. I apologize if i may have offended you.

I agree, those soldiers are some brave men going out there like that, i just disagree with reason why. they are dying by the hundreds just for a greedy coward.

once again, sorry for previous comment.

"stereotype of comment"

thats was why i was apologizing, lemon. i couldnt believe i wrote that all soldiers had no brains, i must have typed it out wrong. alot of them dont know how to think for themselves, and some are different then that. some are actually smart. im sure your brothers are in the latter category, judging from your well written writing your brothers must be smart like you. :)

Good structure and flow. I have some friends who're soldiers and I'd like to think that they're with people who're like this. Even though they're ridiculous bastards.

This was very patriotic. Having been raised in a military family and on military bases, I have a certain appreciation for the military. However, your poetry digressed away from rhyming at times. I would go back over and continue the flow from beginning to end. Don't leave a word behind!

this was a really nice poem. it was really nice to read this and i think that most people could relate to it because they know someone in the army. i thought that it flowed quite well.
