To Serve
One's
Call
Standing at
my post aboard a ship with
responsibility to
bear,
I ponder
back to the memories that
warm me in the
chill.
About a
dragoness that I once
solemnly did
swear,
That I
would never forget her, not
now not
ever.
We once
dreamed of a future
together in a magical
land,
Flying
those blue skies, seeking
the love of each
other.
Now though
I obey and give orders to
command,
At this
time of war my country is
in.
Someday
when I return home to
you,
I will tell
the stories about this
place.
About a
nation that was once pure
and
true,
Oh how I
wish time would go by with
haste.
So that I
can be by your
side,
Sharing
this story of a
time.
About a
ship that would
glide,
Slowly
rising and falling with the
tide.
Though a
weapon its
purp
ose is true
in a
way,
Defending
the Stars and Stripes is it
duty,
To keep its
enemies far and
away.
I'm a
sailor now my scaled
one,
Never had
we thought it would come to
this.
We often
dreamed the day when we
were
one,
Companions
sharing in the first
kiss.
Sparking a
new life, a new treasure to
be
found.
You and I,
basking in the warmth of
the
sun,
Looking up
at the sky before we leap
from the
ground.
Soaring
beyond the hills, the
mountains, the
peaks.
Soaring
over the streams, the
rivers the
lakes.
Our forms
blending with speed, as a
voice
speaks.
Its tone
shakes my mind, bringing me
back into this
life.
My
Commanding Officer gives me
an
order.
Wanting to
be with you causes such a
strife,
In wanting
to obey his solemn
order.
Taking to
the scope I search for the
enemy and his
sign,
Only to
have your memory
arise,
Sending
feelings through that make
me.
Relieved of
orders I head to my bunk by
nine.
Wondering
about my new future that no
one
sees,
After this
life I hope only in my
dream.
To be
flying with you above those
trees,
Above the
ocean as the sun casts its
gleam.
My mind
retreats away into a
wondrous
sleep,
Think of
you and your
love,
A memory, a
goal I will always
keep.
While
defending this nations
integrity.
The hope of
flying with
you,
The hope of
seeing
you.
To feel
your touch, your
love.
Its grace
so gentle and
soft,
Like you
were an angel sent down to
me from
above.
You are my
dragon and utmost my
friend,
Nothing
will tear us apart I swear
to
you,
Remember me
as I remember
thee,
And our
love will always be
true.
