Am I Worthy

Am I Worthy? This thought comes to me as I lay on the battlefield Those who have come before me and are now just a memory, a specter, a myth Will they find me worthy? This battle What was it for? Did it really matter? So many battles, so many friends lost Will they find me worthy? My father, a great warrior, a great man So noble, so caring Will he approve of my life? A lone figure comes my way Is he coming for me? Or someone else? I cannot rise, only wait Will he too judge me? Should I care? I recognize that face Father, Am I Worthy?

Spoken candidly, the words of a soldier are heart-breaking, yet very real. A touching poem, ....that leaves one always asking why, what was it for? Well done!
