The Soldier Gives The Right Poem by Jon M. Nelson

The Soldier Gives The Right



The soldier gives the right to bear arms,
By carrying a weapon of his own in War.
The soldier keeps us all safe from harm,
By defending us on a foreign shore.

The soldier gives the right to protest,
By standing up against what is wrong.
The soldier keeps us safe as we rest,
By defending through the nights so long.

The soldier gives the right to free speech,
By speaking out what is on his mind.
The soldier keeps our safety in reach,
By leaving his family and home behind.

The soldier gives the right to free press,
By the stories he will have to tell.
The soldier keeps us safe from distress,
By putting himself through a living hell.

The soldier gives the right to religious freedom,
By taking a moment to stop and pray.
The soldier keeps us safe from things to come,
By being on the frontline every day.
