American Soldier, School poem. Critique? Options

[IamRad]

So my history teacher decided to say that we can write a poem or an essay talking about the American soldier. since i dont know much about this topic "soldiers of america" i decided id try and write a poem about it anyway. Please tell me what u think of it, if it makes sense or not. i just put words and random things together and voila.. a poem about an american soldier was discovered. anyway, i dont think its too good, what about u guys?


He stands beside us when we’re happy or sad,
He holds our hand when things go bad.

A one true soldier who will always be there,
He’s the one who will always care.

Through our lives, that soldier will be there with you,
Everyone will soon realize we could be a soldier too.

From all the tears that we create,
He is there to blow them all away.

Trust is seen in the eyes of our soldier,
Through our eyes and his, we will never surrender.

As our lives go on, he will watch us all,
He will lend a hand when things begin to fall.

In America we have this thing called love,
So try to love our true soldier as much as he loves you.

Remembering is not all you can do,
You can help others the way he helps you.

All in all, the American soldier will always be remembered no matter what,
People will always see him as the one who fought.

PS: this will be among other essays or poems, and it will be chosen so that when i go to DC its for the tomb of the unknown soldier ceremony. Fancy stuff.
