Soldier

Stand u soldier
Dry those tears
Calm yourself
Fight your fears

I cant be with you
By your side
The day you left
i did nothing but cry

cuz part of me
left that day
but don't you worry
your on your way

it wont be long
you'll be back here
spending time
close and near

you left this country
to stand and fight
for people unknown
yet knowing it's right

I have to say
all of this is true
and i thank god
everyday for making people like you!!!!!

I wrote this a while ago for my best friend who is a soldier in iraq when he found out his girlfriend cheated on him... he went into a large state of depression... and as he said the only thing that kept him sane was all the letters i send him and how even though he doesn't always reply i write him like 4 times a week to remind him everyone misses him and that what he is doing is amazing... and it won't be long b.4 he is back home... i have to say that i am really proud of him and all the other soldiers that are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect others and their rights.
