Home From the War

Home from the War Here’s a little friendly greeting To welcome you back home, You serve your country admirably Far and wide you roam. The folks back home they love you It’s for those you go to fight, By being shipped to foreign lands To help put their wrongs to right. The act of war’s horrific Many lives, they have been lost, You wonder if it’s worth it all When there’s so much human cost, But now the war is over And the fighting’s all but done, Your friends and family miss you loads It’s time to come on home. A change of scene is what you need The battleground, no more, For nowhere else on earth compares To your homelands welcome shore.

Sad that so many suffer from PTSD after going to war, and many times the govt does not give a damn...
