Two Boys From the Bay
Two boys lived by the glistening waters of the bay
They were best friends, running through the grassy marshes
Up and down the way
Chasing pelicans as they played
I would watch the two boys from the bay having fun everyday
Until the untimely day when the war came and took them away.
Two boys---soldiers now they had become
Carrying guns and ammunition, heavy as a ton
Fighting a war that must be won
A war caused be nothing they had done
Two boys were killed today
In a land so far away from their beloved bay
One boy died trying to save the other boy
The other boy is the one, I called
My son
