The Silent War


 


I am the lonely soldier


Who is fighting the endless war?


The battle keeps on raging and the


 


Countless sadness that is in the air


I wonder sometimes if I am only dreaming


And wondering if I will ever wake up


 


The hopes and cries that the war would


Soon be over and I can return home safe and sound


After the silent war is over and I can feel my freedom and


Happiness once again

Richard,

Each soldier feels alone on the battlefield: you've captured the feeling, the fear, perfectly. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
