SOUL OF THE SOLDIER

SOUL OF THE SOLDIER

It’s a long road back, returning from war,
It’s distance and time and a whole lot more.
Memories remain locked in his head,
As darkness descends, the nighttime he dreads.
~
The years pass on by but he can’t forget,
From dreams he awakes in shivering sweat
Remembering friends and living with pain,
Sleep is illusive, this night all in vain.
~
His mind will not rest, just keeps racing on
And so it will be until night is gone.
Soul of the soldier who’s given his best,
Living a lifetime, a mind without rest.
