Added this first verse. Also, changed the dominant pronoun from "I" to "he" because it bothered me. I'm thinking about writing yet another verse, as well. =P Enjoy.
Of eight score men
He's one of them.
And further, one of six.
While still alive
'Til forty-five
He holds this known prefix.
Where eagles soar
He stays no more
He rests among the stars.
While once he swore,
Not now, no more.
His life is told in scars.
When patch-eyed men
Come 'round again
Their lives are in his hand.
He'll stand up strong,
Release the throng--
What's blue he does command.
EDIT: Changed Until to 'Til for good measure (pun intended).
