A Soldier Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

A Soldier

Rating: 4.5


Do not weep for me as I stand
Weary and broken in this foreign land
Stand by my side and steady my gun
Lift me if I fall and push me to run.

For I am your soldier...sent off to war
Fighting for freedom...near and far
Too little sleep...cold food in my pack
My fellows and I watching each others back.

Yes, stand by me Lord, for fear is my name
Help me to fight and not bring you shame
And when the time comes that I laid down and died
Your comfort I feel...as you stand by my side.
