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
