Five Soldiers

Five soldiers standing in a line

All waiting to be given duties

All thinking different things

While seeming emotionless



Shaun was first in line

Scared but looking brave

His mother waving at him

His Father standing with pride



Daniel was next in line

A look of fear in his eyes

Thinking of his wife and kids

Wishing to see them again



Ben was middle in line

The smartest of them all

One medal on his outfit

That his little girl made for him



Steven was fourth in line

Thinking of the one girl in his life

Only girl that has treated him right

Fear that he will never see her again



Last but not least Adam

His life of being picked on

But best friends with Daniel

He is the shining star of the pack



All having different lives

All standing for a reason to prove

In the future they will be somebody

They are the greatest soldiers in my heart
