The Soldier of My Heart

The Soldier of My Heart

The soldier of my heart

Is a strong and solid man

He is brave and courageous

defending the people of this land

He runs into battle, not knowing what he'll see

He fights for the freedom for all of us overseas

He protects, he provides, he cherishes those he holds dear

For this day could be his last, the end is ever near

Will his life and sacrifice be all done in vain?

Will he be remembered and honored for enduring such excruciating pain?

Lest us not forget the soldiers who gave it all

And remember those who fought beside them and were blessed that didn't fall

They are the ones that bear the weight each and every day

Remembering the sacrifice, enduring the nightmares and the pain

For they know the true cost of the freedom we take for granite everyday

So let the soldier of my heart be honored in every way

Cherish your loved ones

Be kind to all you see

Appreciate your freedom and our flag that flies so beautifully

The soldier of my heart, can be the soldier of yours too

Take a moment and thank our God above for the red, white, and blue.
