By chance, we met, and <br />in a quick glance I recognized, <br />a tall, strong figure, <br />and a truthfull pair of eyes. <br /> <br />The second time, by chance again, <br />(was that a sign from The Gods?) <br />I observed and listened carefully: <br />I saw sadness, humor, hope. <br /> <br />Unbeatable, fierce, inscrutable, <br />I thank The Gods, he is not, <br />for in a brief time, brave, no fear, <br />he dared to show his many wounds. <br /> <br />Tender soldier, such a warrior, <br />day after day, in a tough war, <br />fights with neither rest nor anger, <br />neither complains, nor rewards. <br /> <br />To him, I know, I`m a refuge, <br />in weak moments, a solace. <br />Silent, my heart already beats for him, <br />and fails to expect nothing. Alas! <br /> <br />La Finita<br /><br />Laa Finita<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tender-soldier/
