Nation Always Comes First

Who doesn't want a loving family? 
Especially when you are in Army
After a day full of orders and sweat
The days full of toil, nights engulfed in death
Bullet can pierce your chest anytime, if not alert
Living in uncertainties, you live only for people
Who are most happy when sticking together
Fear of separation make them shed a tear
Soldiers don't want to leave their family behind
Yet he coalesces himself with death, then his life 
Sincerely follows senior's orders, no place for a cavalier,  
Family comes first but nation comes before anything else
  

In response to Penstivity TTC: FOWC: cavalier, Your Daily Word: coalesce
