THIS IS WAR

You forget; This is war
Your purpose is to fight
Don't run away, don't try to avoid it
Confront your fears in that dark night
Lift up your faith, your shield of courage
Be prepared to give your all
Listen for the sound of the battle cry
Sound the alarm, heed the call
In between the battles
Don't let time steal good moments away
Hold on to the simple things, the little things
That mean the most to you each day
Having fought, having done your best
And having done all to stand
In between the battles
Life and living are in your hands
This may be war, but this too, is life
Grab moments of living while you can
Because life, in between the battles
Has no; Do it later plan
