Stories & Poems About War
A Poem For Cpl Mike Jr.
I THANK GOD FOR THE WARRIOR
I thank God for the warrior
Who stands for our ground
I thank God for the warrior
In whom our liberty is found
He lives his life unselfishly
So we can all be free
He's expert in all weaponry
The Few, the Proud, the Marine
His motive is for our behalf
He's in danger every day
Even though there is no draft
He goes out all the way
I thank God for the warrior
He performs his patriotic Chore
I thank God for the warrior
Who fights for God, Country, Corps
