To an American Soldier

Dedicated to our troops.

I have the sand for a bed
The night sky for a lullaby
Days become long
Night becomes day.

Heart loves the nation
Mind thinks of home
Body stays focus
Soul knows the most.

Of family and friends,
Of holidays home,
Of freedom and price
My dreams have become.

When everything quiets
Images go flying
The Patriot loves Country,
The man loves a family.

The heart aches for Country,
Family and friends,
The soul screams for Freedom,
A price here to pay.

When you’re learning about something new, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of relevant information available. This informative article should help you focus on the central points.

Anjalina, thank you for your generalized comment, but it is just pure poetry – a dedication to the soldiers of my country.

Thank you for the dedication. It makes it worth it when people appreciate their freedom instead of abusing it. God Bless.

Hi there!
