The Veteran His hands are old hands shaky His eyes are growing dim His mind is still sharp but weary From a twisted body can still grin With a lifetime of living Much more then most With a chest full of medals He’s not one to boast His comrades in arms are gone He seen the ravages of war He survived all those battles Raised a family and even more He feels those that didn’t make it Where the true heroes of the day He was just a lucky survivor While with they’re lives they did pay At the Cenotaph you will find him At attention each Remembrance Day With tears and bad memories That will never go away He prays future generations will remember These things that went terribly wrong So they don’t make the same mistakes After he and his comrades are gone R.
