Soldier Blue

Sunlight fades to blackened sky As full moon rises high The Devil walks the streets alone Wolves bay a howling cry When winter night turns frigid And red hot glows the flue The wraith hides in the darkness In fear of Soldier Blue The Velcro straps secure his vest His badge is shined and bright Weapon charged and holstered down He's readied for the fight He softly opens up the door Where children sleep in bliss Cheek to cheek whispers his prayer And seals it with a kiss In the blackness of the winter night Good men are hard to find Comes one who lights the bloody path And toes the Thin Blue Line Fear not the one who guards your door He guards it just for you But if its evil you intend You'll soon meet Soldier Blue Copyright 2015 J.W.
