Prayer for a Soldier

 A soldiers dream to awaken and cry

to feel the loss but he doesn't know why

 

The former person he used to be 

stands in the shadows of simplicity 

 

the ones around him are unaware 

that there has been a death of one so dear

 

 The grass is green ,but holds suprise 

a bouncing betty horrifies 

 

The soldier awakens to begin again

pushing back the memories of a tragic end

 

Blissfull ignorance holds the key

to happiness and family

 

Time heals wounds and memories fade 

of who we were on parade
