Soldiers

Back from battle, from death and pain

Back to being with families again

Soldiers return to live their lives

With their children, husbands and their wives

But they won’t forget what they have seen

Their memories and thoughts will never be clean

But still they try to carry on

To love, not fight, they stay strong

Until duty calls for them to fight

To serve their country, to end this blight.
