Behind him were the memories,
To hard to think upon.
Of buddies still
there fighting,
Would they one day make it home.
The thoughts of death he witnessed,
Well he pushed them way down
low.
"If I try not to remember,
The pain will surely go".
He tried to keep a secret,
Of the nightmares he endured.
The rages were
nothing personal,
His friends he reassured.
His first wife tried to cope,
Though she didn't understand.
This
stranger that came home to her.
Was surely not her man.
Another wife another life,
And the nightmares still went on.
Lord it's
been 20 years,
The demons should be gone.
Now two wives and a country,
Had turned their backs on him.
How does
one find the courage,
To reach out once again?
One day it just happened,
A new love began to grow
. How and why he
toughed it out,
This girl will never know.
We learned to trust together,
And confided all our fears.
With love and
understanding,
We dried each others tears.
Oh the demons still rear their ugly head,
Every now and then.
But we
meet them head on,
Together till the end.
