a soldiers tale

i was sat in the park as quiet as can be
when a little old man came and sat with me
he began to tell his story of a life of woe
called up to army and  he had to go
he told me of his days on the battle ground
surrounded by the bombs and bullets all around
he said a son that he never saw
he was being born when he went to war
i looked in to his eyes that were tearful and sad
then i realized that soldier was my dad
