Soldiering On Towards Life

 Day and night I soldier on,  

To the unknown forest paths.  

Facing fear is not easy, I must say,  

Yet little by little, I push past it.  

With a heavy heart and a tiring soul,  

I stumble not into the smallest stones.

With this long and endless road,  

A lesson I learn from this very truth.  

For life’s a war, with an unknown battle.  

Although I fall, I do not wither,

I rise again for I am fearless,

With all the dreams I hold in my hands.  

Even though this journey is weary and unsteady,  

I climb this very mountain of courage.  

With all the resources I have in my hands,  

I soldier on like a real man of steel.
