The Soldier

, , , ,

There is discipline in a soldier, you can see it when he walks.
There is honour 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 never compromise.
There is something in a soldier that makes him stand apart.
There is strength in a soldier that beats from the heart.
A soldier is not a title Any man can be hired to.
A soldier is the soul of the man buried deep inside you.
A soldiers job is not finnished after an 8 hour shift or a 40 hour week.
A soldier is always a soldier even when he sleeps.
It is the soldier not the minister who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the soldier not the lawyer who has given us right to fair protest.
It is the soldier not the politician who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the hero soldier who's coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protesters the right to burn the flag.
