I find peace
In the darkest places.
Close my eyes
And remember the faces.
Smiles and laughs
And sideways grins,
Happy moments
When life was dim.
Brotherhood forged
In the hellish fire,
Of a war overseas
With soldiers I admire.
Through the fear,
Through the pain,
With my brothers
I stayed sane.
But the horrors of war
Are not easily dismissed.
Scarred flesh still remains
From the bullets that missed.
Tears still flow
For the kids we lost.
We know all to well
What that freedom cost.
Through Hell's gates,
Through fire and fury,
In a war
Where the lines are blurry.
My life, forever indebted
To those brave souls.
I will meet them again
Inside Valhalla's halls.
Forever humbled
By what we went through,
I am so very grateful
For those magnificent few.
