POETRY IS THE MUSIC OF THE SOUL

For a soldier

He puts on his pant
His coat and his hat
His bag is by the door
It's already packed
They drive to the airport
To send him on his way
With a hug and a kiss
And an "I love you" to say
His mother and his sisters
They cry their goodbyes
He says he'll be back
As he dries their eyes
He boards his plane
Back to the desert he goes
To fight for the free
And the land that he knows
An honor it is
To know a man like him
Someone that cares
And risks life and limb
He is a soldier
An all American man
He fights for his country
With all that he can
He's a brother and a son
A man and a friend
He's there when you need him
With a hand to lend
