Once a Soldier

I carried the fallen, gave hope to the youth

I lifted the flag, and fought for the truth

I promised the ill, they?d see the sun rise

I asked for the reason and requested the price



I stood in-front of the mirror, after unfinished war

Saw my reflection, face printed with gore

Yet honor provoke, chills down my spine

I thank for the chance, of my feeling pride



Such feelings cast light, as my tears omit

In this life I know live in, where such feelings admit

That a proud soldier I was, in such the past life

I praise those soldiers, whom in battle do rife.

Don't you ever get the feeling that you were someone else in your past life...I do.
