A warrior's heart is fierce in battle,
yet it is filled with wonderful compassion
for those that he has to fight.
He strives to win the battles yet still takes
the time to mourn the losses of friend and foe.
A warrior's heart feels the need for peace and
tries to heal the wounds caused by hatred and strife.
A warrior's soul is filled serenity for he knows
that what he has been called to do is well and right.
A warrior's soul is filled with glorious light giving
him the strength to overcome the horror and
dangers of the deadly fight.
And in the end a warrior's heart and soul are left with
violent memories that the world will never know.
So people of the world embrace your soldiers for they
are your protectors defending your freedoms to the
very last halting breath.
