A Soldiers Dream.

A soldiers dream is to fight the war,
Not to go down all sore.
He wishes to see the end of the days coming from the war.
Many covered in mud, and blood,
but they shall go on.
Everyone down, there is no more war.
A soldiers dream is to fight for good
And to go back home when he should.
The sacrifice of a soldier is more that what we know,
But the legacy goes on, and on, never disposed.
Now the day, the dawn is here,
Thousand gone, few remain.
Many come home, many can’t, for they are part of the war.
But that is the soldiers sacrifice of the dream he once had,
Many sad, full of sorrow, and that is what happened.
But will it ever happen again? For the war is now won and had.
