Letters


Soldier’s letters sent home to his friends and family before he died in War!

The original title was “Letters”
Letters2


Letters3
Letters from a husband
to his waiting wife ..
Reflections of dreams they shared
for the coming new life.
She's pregnant with his little boy
who he may never know
Words of love are all he writes
So, his fear she'll never know ..

Letters from a young man
in a war far away
Trying to come to terms
with what he has to say.
Letters from a young man
in a war far away.

Letters from a son
to his mom and dad
Confiding in their trust
the things that make him sad
Children without fathers
are crying in the street
Death's around each corner
in the strangers that you meet.
Letters from a son
to his mom and dad.

Letters from a young man
in a war far away
Trying to come to terms
with what he has to say
Letters from a young man
in a war far away.

Letters to a teacher
about things that he has learned
about a war-torn country
How freedom must be earned.
Trying to make some sense
of such a senseless war
Hoping they can tell him
what he's fighting for
Letters to a teacher
about things that he has learned.

Letters from a young man
in a war far away
Trying to come to terms
with what he has to say
Letters from a young man
in a war far away.

Letters from an old friend
to the pal he left behind
Looking for a laugh or two
that's been so hard to find..
Trying to put some normal
in all this disarray
before he loads his pack
and gets the mission under way
Letters from an old friend
to the pal he left behind.

Letters filled with hopes and dreams
Letters people save
Letters from a hero
placed upon his grave
Letters filled with hopes and dreams
Letters people save ..

Letters filled with hopes and dreams
Letters people save
Letters from a hero
placed upon his grave
Letters filled with hopes and dreams ..
