COMES A SOLDIER’S WHISPER
In Memory of our soldiers
Fathers, brothers, sons
Who fought to save this country
For each and everyone
Comes a soldier’s whisper
With history in his words
Barely heard while fighting
With many battles he endured
Letters – those words written long ago
To a soldier of today, they still ring true,
Letters – about how war can change a man,
Not just a man but his heart and family, too.
May those letters help us know what we should do
So let’s embrace our soldiers today
Upon their return from yesterday,
To help them heal a heart of war
And become once again
Who they were before…
Before and during battles
And after change of mind
Will a soldier’s whisper
Be heard – through all of time…
