To Love Your Country

To love your country, you must commit yourself indefinetly; there are no doubts, or fears when it comes to defend it fervently.. do it for the sake of your family, or your countrymen who wish for peace! They will send you to distant lands, away from your loved ones... to uphold freedom and its sanctity, and you'll shine with bravery! Anytime peace is threatened, you'll retaliate and engage in combat, true soldiers always fight with self-confidence, never retreat in any circumstance! There'll be days of fright , of darkness and despair, and nights to shed tears on cold pillows; no tender eyes to glance into or arms to embrace, but surrendering distorts your honor! As the mission comes to its end suddenly, and you are one of the surviivors to declare victory, although you'll also grieve for the fallen ones: you'll wave your flag to the calmest skies! To love your country, you must avail yourself of dignity and protect its borders vigilantly; be aware of its tremendous cost: risk your own life,or allow the enemy to toast!
