A Soldier's Dream

here they come

stoop down low

OH GOD, THE NOISE,

when the bombs let go!

We'll be all right

if we just wait here

my brothers around me

the enemy out there

I'm strong and I'm brave

I'm SCARED TO DEATH!

Mom, how I miss you...

and my beautiful Beth!

Beth, are you waiting?

Are you thinking of me?

I'm here trying to help

a nation be FREE!

FREE to speak and to write

and to vote their own minds

FREE to love and to worship

and to manage their OWN time!

Dad, you'd be proud

of your "hippie-fied" son..

I'm here in a trench

And I'm pointing a gun

Isn't THIS what you wanted?

Isn't THIS what you said?

"It's better to fight

..... even end up DEAD..

than to sit and do NOTHING

while people destroy

another one's country?

Another one's joys?"

I believed in you then

and I believe in you now..

"FREEDOM FOR ALL!"

I just don't know how

me cringing in this ditch

avoiding a fall

will keep me from

appearing..just a name on a wall

THE BULLETS ARE CLOSER!!!!

"Bill, duck down!!"

"Sam, watch behind you!!"

The TERRIFYING sounds!!

I wake up in a sweat

That's "normal" for me

And my beautiful Beth

is the first face I see..

She smiles, but she knows

while the years have all passed

the horrors of war

will infinitely last.

The friends that I lost

The fear and the pain

are visions and nightmares

embossed on my brain..

They are constant reminders

that won't let me go

of an attempt on our part

To let the world know

No matter the place

No matter the time

We'll help ANY nation

Let freedom bells chime!

FIGHT for you! DIE for you!

HELP YOU find PEACE!

It's an A M E R I C A N thing..

We will NEVER release!!
