Like a Soldier

Like a soldier in battle
trying to get up
reaching for my gun and radio
to defend myself and the call for help.
On the floor trying to stand up
stand up again and never giving up.

Like a soldier
we get up not sure what the day will bring
we just know it will come.
We cherish each moment we get
not knowing what will be our last.
We were told giving up is not an option
failure is never an option to us.

Like a soldier in battle
we were taught not to give up
that to always fight
when the dark came
knowing some how there is a light
we just cant always see it.
the Spartan way never give up
die trying.
The great warriors
the human spirit works the same way
the only difference is that
we can give our selves away
and it would not look like weakness.

Like a soldier in battle
we are far from
those we love and
all we can do is fight
for them.
Like a soldier in battle
on the floor
reaching for our weapon to defend ourselves
and reaching for the radio
to call for help
for back up
because we realize
we cant do this by ourselves.
