Service

The service of a life laid down

Given to do what is seen as right

Wanting to help and not to hurt

The end result of what they know.

Not looking at the massive world

But what is there for them to do

A service that encompasses 

The reason behind what they do.

It’s not merely seen as duty

Because they know the meaning

The love which drives their service

Of those they left behind them.

Others see the service offered

Maybe they don’t understand

But the one who gives their all

Doesn’t really count the cost.
