A Warrior's Struggle

In the present moment,
my body can't be at home.
But home is where the heart is,
my heart is there, when I roam.

Currently on an important mission,
to make right, from what is wrong.
An ambassador of America, I become,
encouraging a country, to be strong.

Underneath there truly lies,
a hard sacrifice in what I do.
In my very being, I remind myself,
people deserve freedom like I do.
