A TRIBUTE
We watch you struggle day after day.
Your body racked with pain.
Only the agony upon your face.
Revealed the story plain.
When asked out of concern about your health.
Your reply remained the same, Elanging in there,
You were never worried about your lot!
Dedication and devotion was your life.
Your strength and valor were unequaled.
You were Gods number one soldier.
