A Soldier Died Alone
Amidst the desert sands dawnings just
begun,
battle rages on, bombing veils the rising
sun.
A boy not yet a man holds a picture to his
heart,
of loved ones not forgotten though oceans
keep them apart.
Called to serve his country, land of
freedom home of brave,
risking his existence for the lives that he
may save.
Concealing his dismay he holds his head
up high,
his arms embrace a trusted friend
watching him slowly die.
A boy he is no more, on that day there
stood a man,
his heart filled with rage, his mind fights
to understand.
Raised to be a man of God, taught thou
shalt not kill,
now placed upon the battlefield where
there tis his only will.
Resting beneath the sunset, wounded he
dreams of home,
lying on the desert's floor a soldier died
alone....
