TO MY GIRL…. ( A SOLDIER’S MISSIVE )

I am a soldier 

No limit to my sky, 
On a wing and a prayer 
I'm always on a high. 

I live for the moments 
That push me to the edge, 
I keep you safe, my countrymen 
Motherland, you're my glorious pledge. 

It’s not mine to think 
To dither, to fear, to sway, 
I am one with the land, in fatigues 
With timeless traditions I play.

Danger is my mistress 
You may be my wife, 
I'll try to live for you, my love 
But for my mistress I will die!
