With a Purpose

Today we walked with a purpose,

down these warm streets.

With the sun shining bright,

upon our faces and

sweat running down our backs

but we still walked with a purpose.

 

Everyone seems to stare

but little do they know,

we are changing the world.

We are soldiers

and these streets are our battle fields.

 

We realize how lost our world really is,

but we still walked with a purpose.

Each footstep we took was a step of hope,

the hope we carried in our hearts.

 

There were many rejections

but we still walked with a purpose.

 

However we are not the only ones illuminating this world,

there were many other soldiers fighting this battle

and at the end of the day,

we all walked with a purpose.
