Civil War Soldier

I have been in the Great War

Seen many deaths in a ruin

My heart's been shattered by the whizzing bullets

I have nightmares of the battles I was in

They say I have soldier's heart

I say what that is that

No one answers and say what a man I am

But does that mean having no sleep at night

That I have to go through mental issues

Just so I can survive

Life's nightmares haunt me day and night

I remember the cold

But I remember when the war was finished

They said we could go home

Oh the joy the happiness

My family

That was the best

After so many years seeing my kids

All safe and sound

Though I will always be haunted by the thoughts and ghosts of the war

My family is always there for me
