Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart beat like a drum
So inspired to write a song of love
Love is a tool unique for everyone
If you listen too you will be touched
War is hurting many hearts in despair
Weapons of war are sometimes words
Blue heart troubled as one who cares
For a family for a soldier who deserves
To live good life may very well die
Serving in the military so proud
Loved ones missed inspires cry
Red eyes that seem to shout
Come back my dear soldier and
Try to heal your war torn heart
A nation owes you to understand
Your sacrifice day, night as a star
PTSD and survivor silver guilt
May rob you of purple peace
Despite challenge you are built
To live life in the land of the free
You’re so used to guarding yourself
You may have walls around heart
Purple Heart you earned isn’t wealth
And money can only go so far
Wishing you a joyful red recovery
Even from things you had to hide
Like the unknown soldier’s discovery
Perhaps a part of you too died
No one knows your story struggle
If it helps write the pain away
May your reward be peace double
In your life your heart I pray
The person you are is licorice loyal
May your lover be as good to you
May you share passion so hot it boils
That healthily heals your insides too
