Soldier

To us it is a normal day,
We laugh and joke have fun and play,
For them its war were every second costs,
No choice but fight there side no matter the team mates lost,
Damp and dark fighting through the cold,
Were there only wish is to just grow old,
No little worries is the door locked or shut,
No crying and moaning over a little cut,
Family is golden and times are blessed,
Every minutes a struggle from the families they left,
So when you laugh and walk at ease,
Remember manners thanks and please?
To you your world feels over and theres little you can do,
But you you've more freedom than a soldier they've a whole war to fight on through...
