Camouflage

Donned in the distinct colours
of it's immediate environment
whether searing hot sun
of the blistering desert sand
it knows no boundaries
no task is too great or small
stealthily staying it's course of action
in the ultimate Quest of it's life!

Colors are changeable
yet not without the greater purpose
if the need arises to blend within
the clingy undergrowth
with rainsoaked trees for unbrella's
where one crack of a twig
spooks an entire regiment
to recede within flax laden tawny beds.

It will tramp the miry trails
till it's feet are blistered and torn
stand upright in mud cached trenches
silent, till the crack of dawn

It is, it has, it does,
for the greater good
when all else has failed in the mission
A strong arm, a protective barrier
compassion without peer
hand picked from the most rigorous training
stamina that has surpassed 

you will never find, a greater love,

dedication,desire, hope!

It is Camouflage
It is worn by all Brave Soldiers

Lest we Forget!
