The Soldier
Born 1969, M, from Paris, FranceHere lies a fallen soldier,
Who stood his ground, with honor,
Now buried, six feet and under,
A warrior, and brother in arms,
Who faced fear, and death,
And did not waver in service,
For king and country, to serve and to protect.
And for the sake of peace, he died in war,
With unshakable love and devotion,
For all, young and old, and the vulnerable,
A hero, forever remembered,
A son, a father, a husband, a brother,
Loved, respected, and honored,
Your war is over soldier. Rest in peace.
For the love of Poetry by Andre Cronje
