Patriot

patriots die for patriots cause
patriots duties or part of who they are
not for glory or becoming a star
they fight for what they believe in their heart
the spirit to live and create a true dream
a true patriot acts out his own theme
with his life, his will, and his prayer to God
he'll fight unto the end against all odds

Great tribute, we need more of them around in these troubling times. Maybe if we all are prepared to pay the ultimate price for what we believe in, we will all live in a better world. Good one. Regards Heidie
