Day by day we question much.
From worries to those who for some reason reality is far from touch.
We make a list and reminders to get stuff done.
But never remind ourselves to smile and have some fun
...
Give me the scorn of the stars and a peak defiant;
Wail of the pines and a wind with the shout of a giant;
Night and a trail unknown and a heart reliant.
Give me to live and love in the old, bold fashion;
A soldier's billet at night and a soldier's ration;
A heart that leaps to the fight with a soldier's passion.
