Two Boys From the Bay

Two boys lived by the glistening waters of the bay They were best friends, running through the grassy marshes Up and down the way Chasing pelicans as they played I would watch the two boys from the bay having fun everyday Until the untimely day when the war came and took them away. Two boys---soldiers now they had become Carrying guns and ammunition, heavy as a ton Fighting a war that must be won A war caused be nothing they had done Two boys were killed today In a land so far away from their beloved bay One boy died trying to save the other boy The other boy is the one, I called My son
