Life Through a Soldiers Eyes

Life through a Soldiers Eyes Trust Given Country Served Not allowed To whisper a word Ethics and code To each they are owed Honour Bound Duty Found Bonds made Friends fade Time served Anyone heard Left Alone Outcast from home Too much grief Wrapped up neat Old war wounds Civi Lifes cocooned Postings no more What to live for Nowhere to go The Ynco All cease to exist In wars in mist The brave souls Climbed in holes Honour Bound Duty Found We owe so much Keep in Touch Hard to see PTSD

Powerful stuff Gail. How quickly we forget those of whom we ask so much, and to whom we give so little.
