The Soldier
The soldier limps toward the flag
Old Glory waves proudly above the crowd
1776 seems so long ago; almost forgotten
This man can never forget; he will always remember
The purple ribbon on his uniform does not remind him
The medals on his chest do not make him recall
His prosthetic leg will always bear witness
It will never fail to testify of his courage under fire
His sacrifice has scarred his body and wounded his soul
He would have gladly given more
The news programs do not do him and his brothers justice
So many have paid the ultimate sacrifice
Too many Americans take their suffering too lightly
The soldier stops before the flag
He comes to attention then salutes
A tear burns a streak down his war-torn face
An about-face turns him to an angry protesting crowd
He would do it all over again for their freedom; for his country
