Peace

I've lived a long life,

So they tell me.

Fought in a great war

That was never the end.

 

I know what fear is,

It was a companion of mine.

It kept you alert or you died.

Such was a day at war.

 

To know peace is to know freedom.

To live in peace, that is an on going

Quest in life that we hopefully strive for.

But some who envy us, see it differently.

Peace is a great goal but one so hard to achieve in all walks of life. I'm happy you're around to tell your tale.

You know much more than others, what it means to kill other human beings and live to tell about it. Peace becomes so much sweeter after one has been through the insanity of war.

Thank you, not for your service, but for your survival, to share this with us.
