I Wish by Robert J (Bob) Moore © 2019 I wish I could write like Kipling of battles fought and won of how the British soldiers was treated When his fighting days were done How he gave his all for his country fought bravely and with all his might and when he was no longer needed was left, with his devils to fight Now we are in a different century but some things have never changed the soldier still has his devils and the world he returned to feels strange.
