What Do I Owe?


To those that came before me

Who traveled land, sky, and sea

Who fought to be free,

What do I owe?


To soldiers with stories forgotten

And old friendships turned rotten

What do I owe?


To the families of the lost

And the bodies covered in moss

What do I owe?


To the rivers turned red

And the headpieces that fled

To all the hearts filled with dread

And those who met their end

What do I owe?


To those from the past

Filled with courageous acts

Who fought in battles of strife

Using blades sharper than knife

I owe my Life.
