Inspirational Love Poem ~
The Soldier
by Sherri Havens


today as i stand as flags mark graves
the think to the soldier whos life he gave
he did this for the love of his country
he did not do it for fame nor money
no these soldiers gave their all in wars
they fought and stood side beside in scores
they each fought for the freedom of their lands
brothers these soldiers stood united hand to hand
many did not make it back day to day
yet all soldiers say they\'d do it all again today
you see they\'ll tell you with a tear in their eye
they stood and held a soldier as he died
and through it all the soldier would say
its worth my life for freedom we have gave
so i salute the millions of soldiers through the years
and thank you for peace gave by your blood and tears
