A family torn
for reasons unknown.
A blissful scorn
far from home.
Good-byes ring
from shore to shore.
Leaving loved ones
for another war.
A tear drop falls
down a cheek,
of such a child small and meek.
The uncertainty of coming back,
they must prepare
for the next attack.
Our troops have left
one more time.
Keep themin your heart,
I will mine.
