christmas soldier

every time i watch the news ....it hurts i think of all our brave men and women .

when all around the trees do twinkle
glittering stars and magic sprinkle
smiles and toys and tears of joy
ho ho ho i miss you why?

miles away and fighting battles
like a knight defends his castles
all i want is you right here
drawing closer ever near

how can i raise a smile
when between is many a mile
come on home safe to me
bringing me some christmas glee

wars of words and guns and mines
politians draw the lines
why were brave and have to go
swapping sand from normal snow

tears of laughter tears of joy
girls and boys please dont be coy
your so brave and strong and fight
im just waving out a flight

come safely home to me one day
every one please let us pray
all our loved ones that have passed
flags flying at half mast

heros arriving safely home
wooden boxes ,all alone
crowds of people crying tears
far too young to loose your years

to all our girls and boys that serve
we thank you for your very nerve
put country first its just a job
of our loved ones it does rob

bring them home alive and well
take them out from rotting hell
all the battles all the crys
hasnt made a country wise

men across tables plot and plan
men flying out a couragous man
women and mothers and
sisters and brothers
fight along side all the others.

safely safely christmas tree
please bring them home safe to me .

This is VERY powerful. The grammar and vocabulary are strong and hold a visual for everyone to see! Great work.
