The horror that is war
never goes away
no matter how many years pass
the memories stay
But for all the ugly pictures
there are some good ones too
of the special bonds that soldiers have
with others that they knew
Only another solider
can truly understand
the depth of love and friendship
that binds the fighting man
To truly trust each other
is difficult to do
but you learn to trust another
as they learn to trust you
There are no words to describe it
the bond these men share
and we’d never understand it
because we weren’t there
I’m sure if you say to them,
I wish I had that type of bond
that special trust you share
as one they’d say to you
‘NO CHILD, I hope you never do
because that means a war again
and all the horror too.
I cherish all the memories
of the men I came to know
that special bond we forged
so many years ago
but those bonds that we made
were so you’d never have to know
all the horror that forged them
and the pain that never goes.’
