To Look Into A Soldiers Eyes


To look into a soldier's eyes, the window to their soul. Look out from inside their mind and see horrors never told. You say we are just killers it's not that plain you see. Take a walk inside my boots and see what I have seen. Many innocent live taken and soldiers, they were some. Giving their life freely to get the mission done. The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes. They fought for all your freedom this is why we die. Some wonder why we fight? To protect this nation and maybe lose there life. Ask a question to a soldier, the answers are in their eyes. Always will we be here waiting, the call we wont deny. We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why? We'll go away to far off lands, leaving our loved ones behind. Many times we die alone, several times inside, Open Windows to our souls, see the tears we hide, secrets that we cannot keep are in a soldier's eyes.
