I’m like a whisper
Floating in the wind
As I throw out my anchor 
I can no longer pretend

Pretend that I came home  normal
No change took place
As I marched to glory
A big smile on my face

War didn’t scare me
I couldn’t wait
Until I got to my destination
Disappointment I couldn’t fake

Casualties upon casualties
Triage death and gore
Witness to death and destruction
How can I take anymore

I’m considered lucky
A blast took my legs 
But my best combat buddy
His life he gave 

So I sit before you
Tears roll down  my face 
As I sit in this wheelchair
While you lie in your grave …….

  Never forget the sacrifices made by our servicemen and servicewomen…..
