How do you tell a soldier?
\nThat war is why he came
\nTo defend our rights for freedom
\nIn a land of foreign names.<\/p>\n
How do you tell a soldier?
\nTo battle foes and strike
\nA mirror image of one\u2019s self
\nUntil the enemy\u2019s death becomes
\n a right
\nYour passage of a moral honour
\nWith comrades of the same
\nA memory forever imbedded
\nIn the battlefields of the slain.<\/p>\n
How do you tell a solider?
\nThat he is not coming home
\nHis last breath and heartbeat
\nHis soul no longer alone
\nA picture in his wallet with a reminder
\n of his home
\nA family grieves forever
\nHis legacy of the unknown<\/p>\n
How do you tell a soldier?
\nHis service for his country is recorded
\nThe day that he would cease to be
\nWith honour of his bravery and
\n deeds of history<\/p>\n
Each year we shall remember him
\nWith poppies by our hearts
\nHow do you tell a soldier?
\nThat war should never start<\/p>\n
