Canadian Soldier November 22, 2010 Do not cry for me, For I am a Canadian soldier. Guardian of “The True, North, strong and free”, Ambassador of the “Red Maple Leaf”. I know that, what I had of freedom, All I used or knew, Is what our father’s Fought for us long ago. I did not give That freedom away or, Have someone take it away By force or law. You hold in your hands The most precious of gifts. Freedom to love and express art. Freedom to be who you want to be. Freedom is a package deal. With it comes responsibilities and consequences. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Do not make our sacrifice, one in vain. I join God knowing, I fought for my fellow man’s freedom. My duty complete, Yours to carry on in memory. For now my mother is crying, And criticism of our mission arises. Question not, but always remember, For I am a Canadian soldier. BY SGT M.J.WATTS
