The Cost Of A Soldier

The Cost Of A Soldier

A True Soldier is tough indeed
standing tall and strong when there is a need.
A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow
Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow.

When a Soldier is wounded in battle
the nerves of his buddies it does rattle.
When news reaches friends and family at home
how their worries and minds begin to roam.

A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best
stopping him from much needed healing rest.
A wounded Soldiers wonders will he ever be alright,
trusting in God that he’ll make it through the night.

When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair
the loss and pain felt can not compare.
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
they assure our freedom will always apply.

To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain.
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds.

Dear Lord please watch over our Military today
as they work to keep our freedom everyday.
For the wounded and the families of Soldiers lost
Please bless them with abundant love, for we know not the cost.

The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
our support for them we should never deny.
