Out of Love

Into the jungles of war, I been,
dealing with fear, and dealing, with doubt.
Human was I feeling, while still a soldier,
fighting for, what America, is really about.

Looking for the strength,
to continue on, going through, the daily grind.
Witness to all the turmoil, faced during fighting,
wondering once, why I haven't, lost my mind.

Else where, I then identified, to rejuvenate,
to rise above, all I seen, and experienced of.
Not only was I fighting for the justification,
I was fighting for all, from out of love.
