My veteran heart
Went to war
For the country
That you are
A country I wasn’t born in
Or spoke the language of
My veteran heart
Risked it all
To ensure your safety
My veteran heart
Not only endangered itself
But this body
I keep it in
My veteran heart
Still sometimes feel
As though it hasn’t
Lost all its limbs
And reach out
For you
In the dark
God bless my veteran heart
Absolute Masterpiece
Wow! It’s amazing how such few words can speak so much. Please write more
Oh the lyrics that flow like streams down a mountain. The warmth and familiarity in the words is uncanny. Hats off!!
Short, sweet and crisp, I even love the title! Please check out my blog https://mycaffeinediaries.wordpress.com/ it will mean a lot :’)
