God'n The Soldier

This time of year I'm thinking about,
Jesus leaving His Father, so bravely devout.

And I'm picturing young soldiers, far, far away,
Remembering faces of loved ones each Holiday.

The depth of heart a soldier must possess,
'Tis a difficult thing for the mind to process.

Placing one's life at risk and in danger,
Not just for family but even a stranger.

God's only Son became a man,
To give eternal life and that's hard to understand.

But our sons and daughters, they go away,
And fight the good fight, so our freedom will stay.
