A SOLDIER'S LAMENT 2


Deep, deep down from the bowels of hell and all that is unholy
I let out a curse, for the soldier that stood beside me has fallen
He's not another brave soldier or friend, he is my young brother

I fell to my knees, then cradled his devastated body in my arms
Heaven began to rain, washing the mud and blood from our faces
Suddenly I could't breathe, for he went totally limp in my arms

My world went in slow motion, I only heard rain drops splash
My emotions ran the gametic, shock ,pain, anger and back again
Each rain drop felt like a chard of glass through my aching soul

Horror filled my mind, jolt after jolt shocked me with untold anguish
I needed to pull myself together and carry him from this battlefield
My God, the mud was thick, with each step of my boats, I sunk deep

My heart felt as if it were exploding, my soul weaken with every step
I promised mom and dad I would watch over him with all my heart
What must I do, Sweet Jesus? For you had a reason taking him away

He answered me not, no matter how loud I shouted to the heavens
All the while I began to envy my brother, he is free from this hell
I wish him peace as he enters the kingdom of the Heavenly Father

It's hard for me to forgive myself, still...
