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 lonlinessshould I fall.
I have seen the face of terror: felt the stinging cold of fear:and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love.
I have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
Atleast someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was a soldier....
