A soldier's boots

 

 

 

A soldier's boots

 

Aren't Italian imported

 

They are not made

 

With baby soft leather

 

They don't come

 

 In a wide range of colors

 

Nor would they make

 

A fashion statement

 

Instead a soldier's boots

 

Are made to endure.

 

Walking for endless miles

 

In hot desert sand

 

Throats parched, no time

 

 To sip from the canteen

 

Or trudging through

 

Thick humid jungles

 

Where sunlight pierces

 

 With the rarity of calmness

 

The boots of a soldier

 

 Signify a solid strength

 

A willingness to fight

 

for love of God and country

 

When others lace their boots

 

They expect to go home

 

When a soldier laces their boots

 

They wonder if they ever will
