The Dead Soldier
He is happy now
in a peaceful rest.
He fought for his country.
He did his best.
It wasn't an easy life—
bed of thorns, no roses
—but he is smiling now,
whispering,
It was worthy
.
He could've lived much longer
if he hadn't gone to war;
he could've spent his days
in never-ending awe.
But he chose a different fate,
much different fate he chose.
Staring at the stars,
he is smiling now.
Knowing that his land
isn't a land of the chained,
he is full of joy and
young again.
Inspired by "The Great War Symphony - The Dead Soldier" by Patrick Hawes
