Thank You

Armed Forces Day today ...
Thank You

Take a look into the eyes of a veteran and tell me if you are able to find

The secret place which is deep inside the darkness of his mind

There lie the things he cannot share and the tears that have yet to flow

If you find that place then you will see why his eyes have lost their glow

He carries his burden in silence, though his eyes reflect his pain

For once he’s asleep the battle begins again and again and again

Take a look into the eyes of a veteran and tell me what you can see

Seems strange to call him a veteran as he is still only twenty three

They have all done their job and claimed no expenses .....
