KEEP THE HOME FIRE BURNING song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

keep the home fire burning
burning all night into dawn
keep the home fire burning
I will be back before long

been away so long
in an endless war
wandering on a
distant shore

it's what I have to do
hope that you understand
holding up and through
the best I can

keep your heart a hoping
I promise I'll come back to you
hope you're well and coping
you know that my love is always true

thunder in the morn
with no cloud in the sky
ready then
to do, do or die

duty to my country
keeps me alive
no use to complain
of to wonder why

keep the home fires burning
I'll make it through yes I will
someday you'll be yearning
and see me climb over the hill

no matter where I am
or what I become
I am still the man
who loves you

and if someday I
am taken away
I'll come back
and watch over you

keep the home fire burning
burning all night into dawn
keep the home fire burning
I will be back before long

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
