A SOLDIER
I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness…should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped…but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten at least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of What I was… A SOLDIER
