Warrior Held lyrics

The convergence of life

Finds souls akin in service

That kept countries free

Times of strife and upheaval

Through confrontations

That not always concurring

War taught us prospective

The costs so dire, so little

Cooperation not a mantra

A necessity for peace

That none hold dear more

Those who couldn't find it

Amidst battle stars given

Trinkets highlighting conflict

Calamity to humility

That fade in the struggle

The years pass on rapidly

And greys overtake all else

Looking aback in dilemma

'Tween laughs and sorrow

There in a world ever in flux

Tethered to the past

Confidence and knowledge

Mill its jargon and stories

An informal consultation

A brother and sisterhood

Stronger than maternal bonds

Keeps constant watch so

Never known by others

Nor understood, this loyalty

That even stranger bound

Is afforded faithfully too

In their passing weeping

As a dear family member

The love of a lost comrade

A sacred trust, warrior held
