A Life In Honor

To every flame there is fuel,
to every building there is a foundation,
for every swimmer there is a pool,
to every love there is connection.

Everything needs support.
Something to encourage them, hold them up,
for every country there are soldiers,
people bravely protecting the borders.

They live in honor,
with never-ending patriotism,
they die in honor,
their souls remembered under the flag.

Connection to one's country 
is something no one can kill,
its something these soldiers prove,
forever brave and strong.
