The Soldier in Armor

by Andy Rupert

The soldier who fought in battles galore
And was known for his valiant stand
Was constantly looking for dangers abroad
As he finally returned to the land

But having returned with his life now at ease
And his family and friends all around him
They slowly convinced him that what he had feared
Was now just a memory behind him

But when he relaxed and forgot ‘bout the danger
The enemy quickly assembled
The soldier who’d always protected the people
No longer a hero resembled

The lesson to learn from this soldier in armor
Who forgot that the danger was there
Is to always be ready and watch like a sentry
Don’t sit back but always prepare
