How do you tell a soldier?How do you tell a soldier? That war is why he came To defend our rights for freedom In a land of foreign names. How do you tell a soldier? To battle foes and strike A mirror image of one's self Until the enemy's death becomes a right Your passage of a moral honour With comrades of the same A memory forever imbedded In the battlefields of the slain. How do you tell a solider? That he is not coming home His last breath and heartbeat His soul no longer alone A picture in his wallet with a reminder of his home A family grieves forever His legacy of the unknown How do you tell a soldier? His service for his country is recorded The day that he would cease to be With honour of his bravery and deeds of history Each year we shall remember him With poppies by our hearts How do you tell a soldier? That war should never start Deborah Lynn Valerian Campo Aurora |
