DEFENDERS OF THE FLAG

A mother holds her newborn babe, her precious pride and joy.
A father's eyes swell up with tears, as he holds his little boy.
Through the years they teach their son what the Ten Commandments say.
But then the thunderclouds of war call the strong young man away.
As a kitten grows to a mountain lion, the young man must transform.
He now must show an evil face as the warrior within is born.
The winds of war a battle cry, the flames of hell burn wide.
The wings of prayer are all he has, as the warrior mounts his ride.

While governments squabble differences, warriors disappear each day.
Some are taken prisoners, while others are M.I.A.
Some reach up form cold dark graves, their loved ones bear the pain.
Some harbor memories within the mind, and slowly go insane.
Once classmates in their younger years, now defenders of the flag.
They pray the peace they fought hard for, shall not begin to sag.
But history tells a different tale as new conflicts begin,
Enjoy for now the peaceful times 'til the warrior rides again
