There is discipline in A Soldier

There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.

There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.

There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.

A Soldier isn't a title
any man can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul
of that man buried deep inside of you.

A Soldier's job isn't finished
after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always
A Soldier even while he sleeps.

A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice
what comes first in a civilian's mind.

If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you...

... next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.

A Soldier is the reason
our land is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one
that is brave protecting you and me.

If you are A Soldier -
I am saying this to you...

... Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!
