The Soldiers Life
The soldiers life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at any time
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by
And see the flag flying proud and high
That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.

Dedicated to my soldier, Matt Lundgren, to whom I have been writing to. Going back in the summer for his 4th tour in Afghanistan. I haven't known you very long, for we have only just started writing each other, but you're my near and dear friend and I love you. Stay safe and never lose hope.

i hope the best for matt and i say without a hero what are we but just regular people in an everyday world without any hope but to see our loving solders to come back to a perfectly safe world that they have brought to us perfect time for the holidays.
