I am a Soldier

I am a Soldier!
An effective killer not by nature
A soul hardened, tireless, and mature
Dedicated to the team at attention
Focused only on the mission

I am a Soldier!
All that is missing is a heart of love
Given only by Almighty God above
Trained to act but not to think
A special breed in the rink

I am a Soldier!
Win or lose, it’s a permanent game
Dedicated warriors accepting no shame
The winners go home and so do the losers
Both never find fame, and their society is to blame

I am a Soldier!
Crosses depicting the numerous losses
Many nights of toils and tosses
Yes Sir!  Yes Ma’am!  No Sir!  No Ma’am!
Respect given to elders and bosses

I am a Soldier!
My watchwords, “The Best
Amongst all the Rest!  
Tough physically, tough mentally,
Yes, my country’s survivability.”

I am a Soldier!
