Coming Home When I came home To a familiar place Certain things had changed, It was written on my face Old friends never asked, What was it like, how did it feel? To fire and dodge bullets With jackets of steel " I just kept it inside The memories
stayed real " With any but the few Who had been there beside me, The only
others that knew. To that horrible war Fought not just in Asia, But here too on our shore. It's great to be a Vet now, A Patriot and more So many years after The end of that war May God bless our brothers Who passed on before Let them know there is settlement, Even after our war!
