There Goes My Soul

Inspired by a storyline from a fierce TV show, "Ultimate Force". With thanks and respect to our Special Air Service (SAS) and all those who fight for our country. May we show gratitude for your efforts and sacrifices. "Who Dares Wins" is the SAS motto. There goes my soul By Michelle Morris 06/05/2023 There goes my soul My body left behind In these foreign lands Soil soaked with my blood No more will I feel My country's free air in my lungs No more will I know The love of my family and friends There goes my soul My body burns, it is a pyre All that is left is the emotions That in loved ones I've inspired All I take is my wisdom The enlightenment that flows within My soul filled with this essence As I live on in the Universe's prism My fellow warriors are left here They will go on without me My family will mourn my passing My grave a token to my identity There goes my soul I fly high to Heaven's freedom No regrets for my choices Being a warrior for my people © Michelle Morris, 2023 SAS information: www.nam.ac.uk/explore/SAS "The Special Air Service (SAS) is famous around the world. Its highly trained men are renowned for their skills in covert surveillance, close-combat fighting and hostage rescue. The SAS was created during the Second World War, when small bands of soldiers were dropped behind enemy lines in North Africa and Europe. Since then, it has been deployed in most of Britain's wars."
