Here stands a broken soldier <br />One that has fought for his life <br />One who has fought for your rights <br />One who has fought with no end <br />And has asked for nothing in return <br /> <br />Here stands a broken soldier <br />Much like any other <br />Just trying to make it through the day <br />Helping to keep a nation together <br /> <br />There is no wish for fame <br />No wish for glory <br />You may not even know his name <br />Still you know he is a hero <br /> <br />This broken soldier <br />Has seen his share <br />He has learned much more <br />Than what you will learn from books <br />He has face you each and every worst fear <br />He has met pain <br />And death was always a close friend <br />Knocking on his door <br />Waiting to be let in <br />But this soldier <br />Wasn't ready to give in <br /> <br />He may wonder a street <br />And pass you by <br />Yet he is still fighting by your side <br />And for your rights <br /> <br />He may seem unimportant <br />For he played such a small part in this huge parade <br />But in a war <br />When he is fighting <br />That small part becomes the parade <br />And helps a thousand times more than you'd think <br /> <br />This broken soldier knows the risks <br />He knows the possibility <br />And yet he fights <br />For your rights <br />For your Justice <br />And at your Liberty<br /><br />Alandra Nicole Moreira<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-soldier/
