| A Soldier's Dream |  |
| In the dreary dreams of a ruptured heart
Lies a volume of sadness
Much akin to a parting thought
That leaves an emptiness, deep inside
Of loneliness and despair
As soldiers fight in wars, that seem so far away
Life and death march hand in hand
Like a shadow in a ruptured heart
Grief sometimes appears
So when brave soldiers die in wars
Think not of losing heart
Remember the dreams they leave undone
As life begins to fade
Only then will we feel the pain
Of the emptiness that's left behind | By Roland R. Ruiz
