Trial by the Fires of War
The nights are long when sleep is slim
Is safe for me to comfort him
Under the covers of cotton and feather
The trials of war he still tries to weather
I love him dearly as much as I can
But somehow he never left that far away land
It took his innocence and now it dares
To take some of our son's with daddy's far away stares
I married a man with honor and charm
Little did I know that protecting our freedom had done invisible harm
How do you battle an enemy unseen?
No barriers or rubble to hide between
His cries in the night leave me upset
Not for me but for his soul's war torn debt
I ask the powers of the universe to please
Return the man who lived life with such ease
Give him his smile and laughter again
So he doesn't always feel as if he is in the lions den
