The Vet
A forgotten time he lived
A place of love and smiles
A place of family and friends
Young and full of life
He was sent to a forgotten war
His life to be changed forever
Doing what was ask of him
The pain in his heart began
Battleing fear and what he was sent to do
He returned to a time of resentment and hate
He endured the nightmares and the unbelievers
Standing on the edge looking down
She took his hand and led him away
Teaching him to smile again
Calming his heart with compassion and love
She taught him that life was possible
Unchained his heart and entered
He live today because of her
You light up my life
Their song
Dedicated to John and Julie
