I'm rather shocked that this poem has been here for five years without comment! I think many of your equals in war must feel this way - amazed by the power given to them; the spontaneous decisions that must be made over life and death. Only you can answer the questions in the last verse. Personally, I think you will carry those memories forever. The true mark of a caring soul lies in the fact that those memories do burden you. A lesser person would cast the memories away and never think on them again. Take heart in the fact that these things plague you; you are a loving person!
