A Service Member's Story - Aka In Friends We Trust
A Service Member's Story
(In Friends We Trust)
The night is cold, the sand is deep,
with miles to go before we sleep.
But on we trudge to spot our friends
Where danger stalks in mountains steep.
We fight a war that never ends,
And no one knows what life portends,
Yet we fear not what daybreak brings,
We'll take whatever their side sends.
Wind-blown sand hits hard and stings;
The dunes shift fast and coat all things
With fine-grained dirt of desert's dust,
That fouls all weapons as it clings.
Still, on we move as we all must
To offer freedom to the just.
We fight to save each others' lives,
As in this world, In Friends We Trust.
