07 May 2007 On a dark stone wall In a former swamp Is carved a name I remember well He was strong And he loved my mom But he went away To the gates of hell I remember he watched me play With my soldiers one fine day And he said, as I recall Soldiers on both sides will fall Then one day his orders came There were bad men he had to tame Far away, we could not see The battles of his men and he Every week my sister And I received a letter Telling us he wished that He could come back home and stay Please obey your mother Take care of one another And then try to explain to us Why he went away Late one night, our phone did ring Only bad news did it bring The man who tried to keep the peace Was himself now fast asleep The biggest lesson that he taught Was some battles must be fought But the pain will still remain Was his sacrifice in vain? On a dark stone wall In a former swamp Is carved a name I remember well He was strong And he loved my mom But he went away To the gates of hell From his son. E-mail address is not available.
