I am a soldier

I am a soldier.

I will never take a husband.

I do not want to be thought of as a woman.

I will not dress as a woman.

I do not care for the things women care for.

They dream of lovers and money.

I dream of leading a charge, and of placing the big guns.

I am not a daredevil: I am a servant of God.

My sword is sacred and I may not strike a blow with it.

My heart is full of courage, not of anger.
