From My Army Brothers

We wish you were here.

Like the soft, little lamb,

You'll have nothing to fear

Away from the bedlam.

Here, where you should belong

'Cause for you this ain't wrong.


You're like Cinderella

With the pretty, glass shoes,

For your life's novella,

With all it's love songs, blues

Elegies, limericks,

And rhymes, ends where it fits.


Here, your life will be better,

For we're like the boxer;

All you need is a fighter.


And when you're 22,

Have comrades by your side,

And we will see you through

In this world so wide

In all it's peace and strife

Like story of my life.
