Fallen 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
offer nothing.
I have seen
the face of terror.
Felt the stinging cold of fear
And enjoyed the sweet taste.
Of a moments true love.
I have cried,
felt pain and sorrow
But most of all.
I have lived times that others
would say
Were best forgotten.
After it all,
I will be all
I will be able to say
That I am proud of who I am.
