Life and Death

Twas a long time ago around fifty years or so A war never forgotten when time passed so slow A sniper in a tree shot at me and brought me to my knees, As I lay on the ground with blood flowing all around. I could not speak or yell for help as I lay dying alone, With my jugular severed I had thoughts of home. Then an angel flew me away as I saw a red cross displayed With It’s wings twirling and it’s engines roaring I was in good care. A tiny piece of led almost took my life away on that day, A tube in my nose to eat with a bandage was no treat. With thoughts of home slowing disappearing I fell asleep, As I woke not one word I spoke for the bullet cut my throat. Death or life I thought for many died in front of me, I killed and I saw life disappear and thought! Why me my Lord?
