For our Soldiers

For the soldiers not found
For the soldiers not known
For the soldiers who came home.
Freedom is what they wanted
Love is what they needed
Fear is what they had.


Feeling of Freedom

There I stood in Flanders Fields
with my head held high
as I sang like the birds.
The sun shone gently
as I stood there contently
knowing that I was free.


Dreaming of Home

I walked through the museum
and listened and heard
the stories and sounds of sadness.
To feel so alone and to dream of home
And not be able to stop this.


Feeling of Home

The feeling of sadness
Frustration and madness
Family at home
They feel all alone
They may not return
Which is a great concern
For the warriors who fought for our freedom.
