‘Here we were laughing and chatting to men whom only a few hours before we were trying to kill!’

We have an understanding, you and I.
We sit in silence; nothing needs to be said.
I know the weight you carry.
You hold your head high, but inside you cry.
The life of a soldier is not an easy one.
Memories haunt you!
But you stand tall and show no fear.
The life of a soldier is not an easy one.
You hear voices of days past come rushing to your head.
You think to yourself, “He was a good one; why is he dead?”
You wonder if you should have done things differently.
No time to think, only react.
The life of a soldier is not an easy one.
The guilt is too much to bear.
Although you were wounded, you question,
“Why him and not me?”
You can’t forget the faces that were there.
The life of a soldier is not an easy one.
We have an understanding, you and I.
You’re a soldier for life, and it has not been an easy one.dier

We did soldiers! The kids created their own soldiers. We also wrote letters to two local veterans.

When you hold me
Hold me so close our hearts blend.
If you care for me at all
Make me believe without having to ask.
Whenever you desire to be with me
Show me like a poem written in visual words.
If you want me to be in your life,
Show me you do, like a puzzle piece knows it fits in its place.
Make me see what you see when you think of me
With all the purpose that special meaning can be.
Loving should come without hesitation
And it should serve as a privileged obligation.
When giving me your self
Help me feel like you have nothing left to give
If you can’t
Disappear to whence you came.
