WAR HERO

WAR HERO

My hero never walked in a Memorial Day parade
No doubt he was the bravest of the brave
And that is what I call a hero
No, what I meant he is my superhero 
His military pension is low
And the mental state is uncontrollable
He is from a small town
His family spread across the country
His wife passed away when he was at war
She will always be the one he adores
His closest friends are no longer close
To him, he doesn't give a damm about his medals
And his life in the war zone
Any other soldier would have done what he accomplished
There have been a lot of years that have passed
And each day he looks for a reason
To figure out why he is still alive

Dear Tony, your inspiring poetic pen has created an intimate and tragic portrait of a war hero. A very moving piece and a thought-provoking tribute to a troubled and forgotten soldier. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
