Part III: The Aristocratic Soldier

A spectral Soldier fights within my nightmares...

within my dreams,

And in the light of this reality the soul of The Soldier

still echoes in screams -

For the Soldier is the hero

which slumbers deep within us all,

And He helps us stand and fight

when the world says we should fall.

The traits found in The Soldier

are shared by my Aristocratic friend,

With effortless laughter He conquers Our fear

and starts over when He reaches the end -

His conversation is casual and sure

giving confidence of character to the Others,

And without His presence there is a void

felt by all of His Sisters and Brothers.

He is handsomely regal and approachable

with a devilishly biting wit,

A segrigit man of surprising depth...

He's the first to cry counterfeit -

But this trait is not a flaw...

It is a wonderfully protective anomaly,

It's an Aristocratic Soldier's response

to a possible threat to His family.

The intellectual insurgent...

Striving to save what is already lost,

Fighting to redeem His future...

No matter what the personal cost -

He has banded His troops together...

Fusing a bond no enemy could sever,

I pray that Our Aristocratic Soldier will prevail

and endure forever and ever.
