Amazing that’s what you are,
Blue as the summer sky,
And green as the dense forest trees,
Courage unyielding,
Faithfulness unspoken,
Simply lived out,
With eyes like the calm before the storm,
Amazing in both character and form,
You shield the weak,
And hold the broken,
Protecting the masses,
You give up your life,
An offering for others to live in freedom,
What makes you amazing?
The very heart that beats within,
The strength to stand when all have fled,
As natural as breathing is the valor of your life,
You ask nothing except to guard those you love,
Amazing that’s what you are,
There is none on earth that is your equal,
With loyalty as your shoes,
And courage as your belt,
Justice is your sword,
And honor is your path,
Death is your companion,
And the fire your friend,
You live to defend the freedom of a nation,
Amazing that's what you are,
You are a soldier.

Such a bright and positve piece when it so easy to dirge and lament the Soldiers path...
Good hearted and true it was excellent to read these words especially as we are on the verge of hopefully calling our soldiers home.
Peace
