A SOLDIER

A SOLDIER

I was that which others did not want to be.

I went where others feared to go,

And did what others failed to do.

I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,

And reluctantly accepted the thought of

Eternal loneliness...should I fail.

I have seen the face of terror;

Felt the stinging cold of fear;

And enjoyed the sweet taste of moments of love.

I have cried, pained, and hoped...but most of all,

I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.

At least I will be able to say that I was proud of

What I was....A Soldier
