Poem of the Week
A Soldier
December 27, 2010
A soldier’s strength comes not from might and power,
but from his heart
A soldier’s shoulders carry not just his ruck,
but the weight of his country’s beliefs
A soldier’s helmet and armor protect his vitals,
but his eyes are not shielded from the horrors he sees
A soldier’s boots can be discarded when warn through,
but the steps they’ve taken can not
A soldier“s strongest weapon is not his rifle,
but the love and support of family, friends, and country
