I
Have always felt the desire to serve my great country
For she has given me more than I could ever give back
This country has never  asked  for  anything  in  return
Nevertheless, I feel it is my duty to protect what I love
Every single day I wake up feeling safe and protected
While many  others live  in  fear  and  endless  despair
Therefore I will enlist to help  safeguard  this  country
So that we Americans can  enjoy  what  others  cannot
This nation has guarded me and it’s time to guard back
As I take position as sentry, I vow to protect this nation
For  we  live  in the greatest place on God’s green earth

My current journey to join the military inspired me to right this piece.
