Poetic Verses
Home this Christmas
How wonderful and so miraculously it will be to come home
After years on the battle field feeling so all alone
Yes there were people around by you all were my focus
Remembering those wonderful times we had at Christmas
Each moment was one filled with some apprehension and trepidation
There were those moment when one had to make a harsh decision
As some times when you were looking at civilians and children
Then they may open fire, or it could be someone hiding among them.
Then too one has to be always on alert, not time for relaxation
Moment can change quickly from quiet to one filled with action
Bombardment coming at you from all angles and direction
Only that training was the only thing that did not cause confusion
So when I am there does not be surprise if I jump at the flashing lights
Or when I seem alert when those fire crackers go off at nights
Then you know that my mind is still in a way virtually
Transposed to that battlefield, so have patience with me.
Also too there will be time when my thought will be distant
That is the time when I see you, and so that very instant
When that guy go hit by shrapnel or shot from by my side
So therefore it was pure that I was not the one who died.
So I know when I get there, there will be such a great celebration
Returning home will be greeted with such a great jubilation
Alas! For some of my friend their family will not be so happy
Yes they will be there so maim, but cannot respond in anyway cognitively
Oh! Sure there no doubt that I will be happy to be home for the season
But most definitely there will be some changes to me as a person
Even t may be home for the Christmas and beyond being with you all
I sure owe a debt of gratitude to those who made it possible, when they around me fall.
