Welcome Home

I’ve been a lot of places I didn’t want to goand I’ve been forced to learn some things I did not want to know.I’ve watched a lot of friends die while I stood helplesslyhearing the steel hornet sing knowing one was seeking me.I thought I was doing my duty like so many had beforeRisking all for God and country upon some distant shore.Baby killer some have called me and since then I’ve heard worse.Instead of coming back heroes we’re still living under a curse.But someday when I reach heaven whre I won’t have to stand aloneI know I’ll hear my Savior say,”stand easy troop and welcome home.”
