I As a Soldier
I as a soldier, have the heart, to willfully fight,
and fortitude, to still do, what is, constantly right.
I as a soldier, have the resilence, to continue, to live,
and the courage, for my country, my life, to then give.
I as a soldier, am a buddy, for whom, I fought beside,
an honor and privilege, serving with them, with great pride.
I as a soldier, however, can only, speak, for me,
destined, to pay back, a freedom, that, is never free.
