A SOLDIER’S PROMISE
The freedom to live
The freedom to lie
The freedom to give and take
The freedom to buy.
A soldiers promise
The blowing wind
The blazing hot sun
The phone calls to tell you
that the job is almost done
A soldiers promise
The dreams they come and
The tears they flow
The memories that stay forever
In your heart.
A soldiers promise
Dusty boots
Sun browned skin
A watery smile
A hug to hold one tight.
A soldiers promise
A saddened crowd
The trumpet’s cry
The guns they sound
The flag draped coffin
A soldiers promise
FREEDOM FOR ALL
