Read a letter today, written in German ink Said It wants to be read, and it made me think 50 years passed since the war,  Heroes died before the war The letter said he missed his family, tragic is,  that now there dead It’s funny how time changes things, from a man with a stone in his hand To a finger on the trigger of a gun He asks me ‘What went wrong’ If I could only tell him, what a change his sacrifice made I’d be a liar, the worlds the same He finished the letter, like his life Before it’s time, with love to his wife Written July 31st, 2001 © on Feb 26 2002 02:25 AM PST   10 • 0 • 1
