Wherenever the Soldiers Go

These thoughts will follow wherever the soldiers go... to be with them in the battlefield; reciting the shortest prayer to protect them like a shield... in moments of trouble and fear! This heart,penetrated by deep sorrow, shares their belief humanly; there will be many conflicts appearing on their undistracted and unyielding faces... so that they must never relent or show weakness when their lives are theatened by the unmerciful enemy! This mind,parvaded by sympathy and grief, struggles with the thought of death... why one must give up one's life and free those oppressed by tyrants? And would this life be enough to relieve some of their desperation and frustation by knowing that there's someone out there willing to join them in their fight, despite the horrible pounding in his chest? This soul,obscured by unhappy news, is not stripped of all hopes and visions; the unwavering war may last longer and time causes its memory to linger... to prove the dissenters that nothing is more satisfying that the victory won in a distant and different land; is there anyone who disagrees? These footsteps will follow wherever the soldiers go... to make them stronger and proud, fighting beside them to defend freedom!
