My son came home from war the other day,

it seemed like forever;

as though this day would never come.

His body was whole,

but his mind still wandered of memories;

lost comrades who fought well;

and gave their all; who gave their last breath;

for country; for honor; for freedoms sake,

so that we could partake of another day.

Now we must remember

and keep the memory of those left behind,

still left to,fight; to stay alive.

We honor the memory of those who died

and gave their all, and pray for peace.

Maybe one day wars will cease.
