The Brave... |
 |
|
I have never known
such fear
as that night
long ago,
stumbling,
trembling,
hearing
rumblings of war
far away.
My mouth so dry
... and wanting to cry.
Closing the distance into war,
and so afraid.
The Moon shone down upon us
shadows,
moving out,
... and the brave were ahead of me
moving silently
into the night.
It was then I knew
that war is common
brotherhood.
Common courage
from common men.
I was part of them.
I was all of them
... and would have died for them. |
