Soldier
By: Emily
A soldier marches into town,
Bullets fly over his head.
But he does not frown.
Because he is thinking about his home instead.
His daughter who is eight,
And is about to turn nine.
And his daughter in another state,
Who says everything is fine.
He knows it won’t be long,
Until he can see his wife.
And hear his children sing a song.
He wants to get on with his old life.
He remembers,
Why he left his loved ones,
Last December.
And that was to protect the country that he loves a ton.
