What Fought For

What Fought For

Soldier, consider why you fight,
Why you march into the endless night
That could fall on you even if you live?
Soldier, what to you seems right
With war within your sight
That calls you your life and all to give?

The price paid is not just from you,
Those left behind and love you, too,
Pay your sacrificial price.
Is it for glory or what you think true?
Is it to protect that defends what you do…
And alone…will it suffice?
