Chin up, little soldier

Dark times come and go,    
Its a part of the curse called life,    
But the dark times aren't here to stay,    
And that's a promise I can keep.    
   
i know at times the pain can be engulfing,    
And the light can be dimming,    
To the point where there's nothings shining,
And only death feels welcoming.    
   
But before you do something tragic,    
That will leave this world in pain,    
heartbreak, and tears,    
For all of eternity,    
Chin up, my little soldier,    
For I will be your light and guidance,    
Through this distance.    
   
No need to worry,    
No need to rush,    
I will always be waiting here for you,    
To return into the safety of my arms,    
Even if i have to wait a lifetime.    
   
But until then,    
Your enemies would kill to see you fall,    
So stay strong and always remember,    
I will love you through thick and thin.
