Warriors Poem by Randy McClave

Warriors don't wear ties and suits
They instead wear fatigues and combat boots,
Their clothes are worn and torn and tattered
On them is mud, and blood that has splattered.
No one does the warrior try to impress
When they wear their battle dress,
And they never run away or cower or hide
They are always proudly at their soldiers side.

Warriors serve in many missions and combats
They are fighters and also diplomats,
For their country and freedom they're ready to fight
In peace they always find joy and delight.
In every battle they declare and know it will be a win
As they stand proudly with their men,
A warrior doesn't runaway or hide they have nerve
That's why a warrior does proudly does serve.

Warriors are what the dictionary does say
They worship no man, and only unto God do they pray,
They have engaged or have experienced in all warfare
Into the eyes of death many times they did stare.
Warriors have courage, aggressiveness and great vigor
They truly are champions and freedom's trigger,
Blood, pain, tattered and torn skin and clothes is their prize
Real warriors don't wear suits and ties.
