Here the wooden soldiers were to stand….

They waited for their command….

Although they were not real ….

They spoke and thought as if they could feel….

I wonder where our general is I wonder where he’s gone….

We need a leader who is brave powerful and strong….

Without him we are just wooden and must stand still….

No general to call us and have us do his will….

Their eyes began to brighten as in walked their leader….

Though something was wrong with him they wondered why….

Why does our leader fall to the ground and cry….

The young boy stood and walked to his army which he could command….

The one place he felt safe where no one would lift their hands….

To his soldiers he started to say….

Help me destroy him take him away….

My Wooden soldiers you will protect your general until he mends….

To battle we will go and fight until the end….

The soldiers knew what was wrong with their leader now….

The pain that was inflicted on him revenge they vowed….

We will not let you down our general we will comply….

All of us will protect you and we understand why….

That scary monster that hurts you him we do not fear….

We know he has been attacking you throughout the years….

He lined up his soldiers and prepared for the final fight….

The monster that haunts you will perish tonight….

The soldiers were prepared and set-up by their rank….

Suddenly in walked the monster and to his knees he sank….

The soldiers saw as the monster came inside….

To their surprise he had their leader’s eyes….

Away went their general with fear and tears….

The monster that hurt him was finally here….

No more screams were heard as the boy was taken away ….

In a dark room quiet the wooden soldiers lay….

A child’s imagination was broken that night….

All because he was too young to fight….

Had his neighbors spoken when they heard his cries….

That innocent young boy might still be alive….
