Soldier... A blessing.

[Silven]

Steady your hand, soldier of our fortune
Hold close to you all that you have learned
call it to courage your wavering soul
The moment of your truth is also ours

Relegate the anguish and the pain
Destroy the torument to an utter wreck
Let your life speak the strength of your resolve
And fear not... Your sacrifice will be remembered

Let not the favoritism of this society
Of lofty bureaucratic overlords... Insignificant.
Dent your significant determined purpose
And this after you've been told. "Do or die"

Steady your hand, soldier of our fortune
for all our hopes and dreams ride with you
Into dirty dark and damp, and hot dry heat
The moment of your truth, is also ours

Tribute to the veterans for keeping our homeland safe, their hard work will always be appreciated and respected, it was a pleasure reading nice poem. R.I.P. to all those who died and my prays go out to those still serving in combat.

Thanks Schizo-Manic.
