Military Poems

Soldier Angel

As I lay in bed tonight;

I grip two hands together tight.

I pray for another tomorrow;

That I hope will bring no sorrow.

But yet again, I will see;

Another Soldier missing on T.V.

I pray for you.

I pray for all.

I will keep standing firm and tall.

I have faith and hope in you;

For what I believe is true.

That you fight for our country every day;

To keep the enemy far away.

I thank you for what you’ve done for me;

My family and friends, do you see?

You are my “Soldier Angel”;

And for other people as well.

I have never met you.

I don’t know your name;

But I still feel the same.

I may only be a very young girl;

But I know what I believe.

If you ask; I will say,

My “Soldier Angel” protects me every day.
