Those Who Fell
I often stop and wonder why,
and ask 'What it's all about?'
I find myself looking into the sky,
and hear myself scream and shout.
I wake from my sleep,
with my heart beating fast.
And tears I weep,
as I long for safer days past.
More sand and dust,
another day of hell.
Doing what I must,
remembering those who fell.
Winning hearts and winning minds,
trying every day.
Doing this job takes all kinds,
but I wish it would just go away.
I dread each day when we go out to seek,
the enemy with his gun.
But all I have left is one long week,
then my time here will be done.
I hope I can hold my head up high,
and say 'I did my job well'.
And I, with a sigh,
will remember those who fell.

ReplyDeleteLeft the forum, but still support F P's (they don't want me to mention it here). Opinions, or the will to find out for yourself if something is true or false, was unwelcome. The forum,I thought, was for open minded discussions. This was proved not to be the case and I refuse to simply accept someone's word for anything. So I looked for facts myself (and disagreed with some of the evidence that I found, but not all. Unfortunately, I said so! Hence my leaving. I will make my own mind up on certain issues, not just accept the opinion of others.
