A Soldier
Stepping out of the shadows of death
Re-entering the life that I once knew
A Soldier returning home from war
Things will never be the same
Shadows of the fallen haunt me as I sleep
A Solder following the order
Crossing into another border
I walk with pride while inside I have died

TURNING 70
Should I wake up breathing on August 24th, people who have known me since my youth will say that I beat the odds. No one-- and I do mean no one-- believed I would survive my 20s. My Mother used to say, whenever I called from a payphone in the middle of nowhere, "You're going to end up dead in a ditch!"
