No GoodbyesWe bought our kids 40 cups
One to break at christmas
The other at easter
So the day they turned 20
That which was shattered
Could be whole once more in dreams
Existing
But Sean he was a strong willed kid
Left our home and heart at the age of 19
He took to the flag he was taught to love
In the second regimental
They asked him to serve
So he jumped to attention
Took up arms
As he went into the sandbox
He told me to await his return
If his was a life to be diminished
That I'd break his cups against the kitchen wall
Donate his toys to the poor
Tell his love he'd be back at noon
So she should hate him not miss him
I prayed every day
This war might one day end
That I could go home one day
Find a letter in the post
That said "to dad"
So Sean's final words
He'd be able to oust
At my bed in the end
Not his.
I was out sick one day
Had worked to long in the factory
As the doorbell rang
I had not in my head any idea
Who was to be at the door
So I looked the men up and down
Asked them who they were :thumb259377707: :thumb187866169: Warriors: The truthWhat is a true soldier? A demon, sent from hell to ravage our earth, plaguing it in gunfire and smoke? No. As soldier is the one who fights for honor. For brotherhood. For love. He is the one that keeps a roof over our heads and a house and country to live in. A soldier is the one who allows us to sleep peaceably at night, waiting to act if any harm is inflicted. A soldier is the man who sees life for what it is, not hell, nor heaven, but a beauty in a sort. To learn what the true meaning of living is, and who are the men and women that stand at his side. War has been in our blood for thousands and thousands of years. This isn't new, this is only repeated. There is no, Utopia, there are evil men who wait and hunger for death and to watch the world burn. Being a soldier might not be the most popular job, but if it wasn't for them, how would we even call ourselves proud citizens? Without them, there wouldn't have been solid soil to stand on.
