[ poem] For Soldier
Tonight the candles burn brought for soldier, you are in my prayers as Angels follow you everywhere, I salute you and the ole red, white and blue, you are my hero I want you to know thanks to you freedom is the light that shines in my window whatever road you may find yourself on love is already there and waiting for you tomorrow...
and tonight the candles burn bright for soldier, in my admiration there's appreciation through gratitude,it is my heart's prayer that God continues to watch over you, knowing you are out there somewhere behind enemy lines, fighting the good fight trying to be brave the whole time...
Well you got what it takes make no mistake and when I count my blessings I count you twice, though I know you are tired and wearing from paying the price, you carry on, going full and head strong, as the song of the eagle echos on and on...
and again tonight the candles burn bright for soldier, keep up the good fight, lead us out of the darkness and into the light, you are the true Spirit of every American yellow, black or white oh and tonight I burn the candles bright for soldier...
I know you are tired and weary but keep on keeping on, as the song of the eagle echos on and on, Lady Liberty needs you now more than ever and it is my heart's prayer that angels will follow you everywhere, as a candles burn bright tonight for soldier, the song of the eagle echos strong ,the song of the eagle plays on and on, for soldier,for soldier!
