A True Soldier is tough indeed <br />standing tall and strong when there is a need <br />A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow <br />Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow <br /> <br />When a Soldier is wounded in battle <br />the nerves of his buddies it does rattle <br />When news reaches friends and family at home <br />how their worries and minds begin to roam <br /> <br />A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best <br />stopping him from much needed healing rest <br />A wounded Soldiers wonders will he ever be alright, <br />trusting in God that he'll make it through the night. <br /> <br />When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair <br />the loss and pain felt can not compare <br />The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high <br />they assure our freedom will always apply <br /> <br />To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain <br />will humble a civilian, no longer to complain <br />Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs <br />to get them through some very treacherous deeds <br /> <br />Dear Lord please watch over our Military today <br />as they work to keep our freedom everyday <br />For the wounded and the families of Soldiers lost <br />Please Bless them with abundant love, for we know not the cost. <br /> <br />The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high <br />our support for them we should never deny<br /><br />Denise Girod<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cost-of-a-soldier/
