The sentry stood upon his post, a watchful eye, His duty to protect his people, to never let them die, He scanned the horizon, with a keen and watchful gaze, His heart a beacon of courage, through the long and weary days. He knew the risks he faced, the danger that was near, But his sense of duty, overcame his every fear, For in his heart, he held a love, for all he swore to guard, A steadfast oath of loyalty, that would never be marred.
