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

A delightful and touching poem.
As a former Naval Aircrewman and later an Aviation Officer (not an aviator)... I thank you. I had to accompany a friends body home from Japan in 1991 after an aircraft accident, and it tore me apart to see his parents and friends.
I Agree with the line "To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain will humble a civilian, no longer to complain".
God Bless my Shipmates gone to the Sea... and all my Brothers and Sisters still serving, no matter their branch.

The cost of a soldier (deploying a soldier to a middle-east battle zone) is in the thousands.
Apparently, a soldier's life is worth around $400,000 to the US pentagon.

As a twelve year veteran of the Army (and still going) and two time Iraq war veteran I truly appreciate it when people focus on the sacrifices we make on a daily basis not only overseas but also here. Thank you for your words and if you don't mind, i will send them out to some of my friends that need a little inspiration where they are. thanks.

My son the Soldier is priceless to all who know him.
He sacrifices so much to serve his country & expects so little.
Which is good because he recieves even less than he expects from more than half of America.

If this is what a soldier goes through, I wonder what a Marine goes through???
