My Soldier Poem by Osvaldo Govea

God, please protect the soldier who's reading this.
He's gone for the moment,
So please let him know that he is being missed.
Tell him he's not been forgotten about,
And that he's always on our minds, our prayers,
And in our conversations when we go out.
God, tell him that all his family and friends miss him so damn much,
And that we are all proud of him and love him a bunch.
Tell him that he's always on his little brother's mind,
And that another person like this soldier is hard to find.
God, the tears are now so hard to hold back,
Please keep him safe, guide his footsteps and watch his back.
God, tell him we're all thankful that he's fighting for our Country,
We all know that the price of freedom isn't free.


I dedicate this to my best friend David Ortega, who's like a brother to me, I love you bro, be safe.
