this soldier i know

is always there

holding out his hand

showing all his care



this soldier that i know

just wants to come home

texting him ever night

just so hes not alone



this solider that i know

he really is something great

becoming his friend

is something i could never hate



this soldier that i know

he's very strong

talking to him late

when his day went horribly wrong



this soldier that i know

for him i stay up at night

being his friend

and helping make things right



this soldier that i know

he makes everyone smile

focusing on others

when hes only home for awhile



this soldier that i know

im proud to call my friend

for this soldier i know

il be there till the end
