A Soldier's Memorial

It is built on pain and on sorrow To always beware of what comes tomorrow Although to some it burns from the past Like the flames of hell rising fast But yet be happy, there is some hope Some happy things to help those cope With problems that come, but memories gone Into the ashes where only death belongs A voice could say, “Beware what you seek.” This voice wants all to be dreary and bleak It calls for a unity of past damnation It wants the world to have a remorseful sensation Though, it cannot be stopped but can be fought The memories from those that can be forgot So live life well, allow no worry to fly The days of sorrows and lies have gone by Think of the days where it will be perfection From the day of birth or the grave-sites reflection It can never break what was built in a heart Never worry, only love, for love is thou art
