SOLDIER
I was that which others cared not to be. I went where
others feared to go and did what others failed to do. I
asked nothing from those who gave nothing. I
reluctantly, accepted the thought of eternal
loneliness-should I fail. I have seen the face of
terror, felt the chill of fear, warmed to the touch of
love. I have hoped, pained, cried. But, foremost, lived
in times others would say best forgotten. At the very
least, in later days, I will be able to say with
greatest pride, that I was indeed, a Soldier!!
