A Soilder

by Sadie bishop   May 19, 2008


He soldiers life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at any time
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by
And see the flag flying proud and high
That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.

    I really liked this.
    As much as I hate war, I always seem to love poems/songs about soldiers, and while this one seemed really familiar to me in parts (maybe a lot of poems use the same kind of lines), this one was slightly more original than the rest when you actually said we should remember the soldiers.

    Well done. It was written really well too, which is nice to see.

    "He soldiers life is not for all"

    Shouldn't he be a?

    "Remember the next time that you are driving by
    And see the flag flying proud and high"
    That somewhere out there a soldier stands
    Weary and cold in a foreign land"

    Like how you say this, definetly makes me think about all the soliders out there, makes me really care for them. Love how you wrote this, surely from the heart and gives out a very good message to all. We must remember all that they do for us. Nice write, enjoyed reading this. Please keep writing and take care!
