I am a proud army wife! I also am not very good at writing poems, but one
night I was thinking of how tough my husbands job is as an infantry soldier. I
had to write this for him. Please add this "poem" for me. Thank you!
A soldier's day
He raises before the sun-
and kisses her good-bye
Starts his long journey-
to what they call "a post"
Pushes himself passed his physical limit-
until his body becomes numb
Keeps a silent tongue-
while others yell and scream at him
His heavy eyes try to close to rest-
on his way back home
He then forces his tired feet slowly-
on up those many stairs
The soldiers body is shaking of exhaustion-
but his work is not done
Sluggishly he tends to his wife-
while she continues to complain
Complain of all the mess he left behind-
the night before
This angel finally rests his halo on his soft bed-
then raises before the sun again
