Wounded In The World

country as flag
So many
... wounded!

A Mother has lost a child.
A Father has given his son.

A widow cries...
as a soldier dies.

So many are wounded
along the road of life.

In the scars and the tears
... are deep memories.

Long ago,
is just the lost child of today,
wearing a long face of despair,
silent,
and afraid.

Our tears leap from the heart.

Time passes.
... and then we disappear.

Love remembers all of them.

Those, who made their home
in the sky of the brave.

In the very heart of love
... itself!

Time, gently takes us home.

Time remembers the brave.
