A Solider
A soldier am I and a solider I shall always be.
War is hell as only a soldier can tell.
Mud and blood and a thousand horror sounds of war,
he remembers them all!
Soldiers fight so freedom may ring and the Red,
White and Blue will always fly true!
An old solider am I and I shall never die,
“I’ll just fade away!”…
and no one need know my name for
I seek no glory or fame.
