I WAS THAT WHICH
OTHER DID NOT WANT TO BE. |
| |
|
I WENT WHERE OTHERS
FEARED TO GO, |
| AND DID
WHAT OTHERS FAILED TO DO. |
| |
| I ASK
NOTHING FROM THOSE WHO GAVE NOTHING, |
| AND
RELUCTANTLY ACCEPT THE THOUGHT OF ETERNAL LONLINESS, |
| SHOULD I
FAIL. |
| |
| I HAVE
SEEN THE FACE OF TERROR; |
| FELT THE
STINGING OF FEAR; |
| AND
ENJOYED THE SWEET TASTE OF A MOMENT OF LOVE. |
| |
| I HAVE
CRIED, PAINED AND HOPED.......... |
| BUT,
MOST OF AL.......... |
| I HAVE
LIVED IN TIMES THAT OTHERS SAY WOULD BEST BE FORGOTTEN. |
| |
| AT LEAST
SOMEDAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SAY, |
| I WAS
PROUD TO BE.......... |
|
A SOLDIER |
