My soldier protects me
Protects his country
Keeps us free
Loves me unconditionally
My soldier deserves respect
His support I won't neglect
His fight is the cause
My love is the effect
He is my hero
I could never let go
He is my soldier
I'll be with him forever

This is great, I love it very much. You speak of the soldier very personally, as if he is your relative or someone very close to you. I enjoyed this, please write more. Please read, rate, and comment on my poems! Thanks!

Love is a two way street. If you find yourself on a one-way road, it&#039;s time to take the next turn off.

I really like it. I think it's short and sweet, but says a lot at the same time. You are an amazing writer!(:

I think this is a good pre-set to a finished piece, but it does need some work. There are some good lines, like the cause and effect line, but most of it seems like it needs flushing out. Nice job either way.
