A pack, a gun and a uniform <br />To keep the peace he’s been sworn <br />In the sun, the rain or snow <br />Ready for action he’ll always show <br />This isn’t his way, he had no choice <br />He must listen to his government’s voice <br />If it were up to him <br />He would go back home again <br />But he must wait until his mission is done <br />He must wait until this war is won <br /> <br /> <br />8-25-72/RJH <br /> <br />© 8-6-10/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-soldier-31/
