A Soldier's Fortune
by Irving E. Rice 2006


They left us with a fortune,
We spend it here and there.
It's a fortune we can't buy,
But it's something we can share.

They were more than just good soldiers,
Who answered their last call.
They were the type of soldiers,
Who wouldn't let us fall.

Soldiers of this kind,
How could we replace.
Deep within our hearts,
We hold an empty space.

We thought for fame and fortune,
You had to be a star.
These soldiers taught us all,
It's really who we are.

One day they went with angels,
To their homes above.
Their fortune wasn't money,
They left us all their love.

The Law Beyond The Uniform
by Irving E. Rice


The law beyond the uniform,
"No Soldier left behind."
Might not be the one we know,
But it won't be hard to find.

There's not one Soldier missing,
From God's Honor Roll.
Their names are written down by him,
He won't forget a soul.

You won't be needing uniforms,
Because you'll be retired.
The angels won't be giving shots,
No clinics are required.

God hears every Soldier's prayer,
No matter what the rank.
He hears you if you're on a boat,
Or if you're in a tank.

If you're hurting in a bed,
We pray our love you'll find.
God's law was written down with love,
"No Soldier left behind."
