War Is Hell

He promised he would love her
She promised she would wait
He promised he'd be careful
She promised not to date

He said he'd write her letters
She said she'd send them too
He said that he'd be faithful
She said that she'd stay true

He told her not to worry
She told him she'd do her best
He told her don't forget to pray
She told him he'd be blessed

He knew he wouldn't make it
She knew the same as well
He knew he'd die on foreign soil
They knew that war is hell

Sad but true. Happens too often.
