Obligations watch

Sometime we do what we want.........

I would run away, 

in fields I'd dance and play, 

with lack of want today, 

cares forgotten chased away.  

I then remember the oath I swore, 

a sentinels watch by the ocean shore, 

youth passed away, and is forlorn, 

Authority said, vigilant stay once more.
