A Flash of Dead Light

A cry in the night A flash of dead light A fools broken heart A life torn apart To live again free To feel love like you and me When life doesn’t understand Why they feel so lost in this land Respect is now due Respect and dignity through and through For what they’ve been through For me and for you Our nightmares come and go Our dreams live constantly enough though But the darkness in their hearts Can’t be replaced now when they need a fresh start For what is it they’ve done? Foe what is it we may ask? We are get taken to task We all work hard to live life We give all to our children our husbands and our wives We work hard for our nice lives But what they’ve given some don’t see This truly astounds me! For no matter how hard this civilian life may be Our soldiers fight professional killers so we can live free.
