last words

I wrote this a couple years ago and just found it so I thought i'd post it up here. Let me know what you think.

The day has come to bid farewell.  Farewell to all whom you have loved Farewell to your mothers and your fathers, and your husbands wives and children.  For today is the day that you go to war.  You go not because you want to, but you go because you must.  You go to protect those that you have bid farewell to, hoping that one day you shall return again to see them.  To turn and run is foolish.  You cannot escape the enemies that hunt you.  You cannot escape the fate that has called your name.  As you walk away you turn and take one last look at all that you are fighting for.  Your loved ones, your family, your friends.  Now take up your sword and your shield.  Place the iron helmet over your head and march.  March to war.  March to victory.  March to the quiet fate that has whispered your name.  What may come of this journey no one knows.  But do not fear.  For your fate has already been decided.

Hope you enjoy this.
