The Awkward Age

Any soldier is too old to cry,
and no soldier is too young to die
Yes, he may lose his life
By a gun or a knife
but he's damned if he dares to ask why.

------- Author's Notes -------

A soldier is a hard thing to be, every day.
We remember them this weekend. Lets not forget them on Monday.

Bipe,

my words are few---tear stainin' my cheek--than you for sharin' a piece of your heart--for the blood that ALL soldiers sacrificed---as the widow of a Veteran
my heart cries---"i will NEVER forget"

Thanks for your sincere words.

I'm so sorry that your husband died so young. They say time heals. True or not, I've found that the passage of time, after a loss, makes me see that "going on" is possible because, after many years, "going on" is exactly what has happened. It's more learning than healing.
God bless you.
