The Soldiers Daughter… Away from the home of her childhood she marched at her Daddy's side. For her momma chose a wide and winding road when she became a bride. And sometimes the road was a hard one, so different from what she had planned; And sometimes she wept for the home she had left as she lay in a foreign land; And sometimes her steps would grow weary as she followed the drum and the horn; But she set about making the world her home because she was military born. Mom learned to build a hearth for them wherever her dad was sent; And she knelt to plant a garden every time he pitched their tent. Yes, she always planted a garden though she never saw it grow, For she knew before the flowers came that she would have to go.

The Soldiers Daughter…

Away from the home of her childhood she marched at her Daddy's side.For her momma chose a wide and winding road when she became a bride.And sometimes the road was a hard one, so different from what she had planned; And sometimes she wept for the home she had left as she lay in a foreign land; And sometimes her steps would grow weary as she followed the drum and the horn; But she set about making the world her home because she was military born.

Mom learned to build a hearth for them wherever her dad was sent; And she knelt to plant a garden every time he pitched their tent. Yes, she always planted a garden though she never saw it grow,For she knew before the flowers came that she would have to go.But she left each garden gladly though it made her heart beat wild,For she hoped it might bring comfort to another military child.

To the hardships in her young sweet life she learned one simple truth, A promise that once was spoken in the ancient words of Ruth:"Wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Thy people shall be my people and thy God shall be my God." 

She shared Dad’s joys and sorrows as they lived where the military bid, For she was proud Dad was a soldier And she a military kid.

"Adrenaline Rush"

Adrenaline Rush (written by Billy Little)

We don't have super powersWe are not made out of steel

We cannot leap over buildingsA bullet wound we would feel

A cape we do not ownAnd a mask we do not wear

We are known the world overThough our breed is very rare

We do not have angels wingsAnd from heaven we did not comeWe came not from a line of kingsAnd miracles we have not done

A super hero we are notNo powers do we possess

For we are just normal menSoldiers and nothing less

We are British Soldiers fightingNot super heroes indeed

We are high on adrenaline ridingTo fight for what we need

"Why The Soldier Doesn't Quit"

Page 4: The Soldiers Daughter

A soldier doesn't quit because his artillery isn't firingA soldier doesn't quit because his airplanes aren't flyingA soldier doesn't quit because his tanks aren't driving

A soldier doesn't quit because his navy isn't supportingA soldier doesn't quit when his officer isn't yellingA soldier doesn't quit because his gun is jamming

A soldier doesn't quit because his brothers are getting shot at and dyingSo then why doesn't a soldier quit?

A soldier doesn't quit because nothing is worse than dying without trying!
