 No we got nothing to show you Our bride is the same one we told you Climb up the mountain and we can show you A way of living that is for you. Don’t worry about the weather or a way to A better way of living that you can get to Or the love of your life that you have found who Makes the world a place you would like to get to. As for me the resulting findings are a solution to A lifelong quest to give meaning to the people who long for peace and the safety of every person who laid down their life for a friend or family too. So now I sit alone in this place where Doing nothing is the same as wasting air. If you see me on the street please know that I care. To stop hate as an option you’ve got to take the dare. And when I say dare what I really mean is to change course. Take steps to remove negativity at the source You won’t look back and have any remorse Do the next right thing but never use violent force. Veteran one through six made their way home. Realizing they were not in the danger zone. Their old jobs were being held by their boss, Their time in the service was not a loss. Veteran number seven ended up with a shrink After telling too many people what he thinks. He had heard about this kind of thing before, But had a sinking feeling as the doctor shut the door. There was really nothing he had done wrong. But gun shots can only ring in your head for so long. He had trouble adjusting to his home town, Becoming a civilian just brought him down. He was lucky he didn’t get something blown off. That his landing stateside was relatively soft. He had seen things that no one should ever see, Now the therapist said he was unfit mentally. I guess the upside to all of this depression Is knowing there is hope for veteran number seven. You may even meet him on the street some day. If you do please tell him to have a nice day. For you never know when the number seven will hit So show some humility, some love if only a bit. For the number seven is lucky after all, And these days scientists find cures that can break anyone's fall. Here’s the final message of hope to remove fears. Of something that came up for seven after many years. He has more respect in the community he ever had And would you believe it, veteran number seven is a dad. If I didn’t address all the women, I would have failed You can substitute your self for the reference to males. But the poem wouldn’t work nearly as clean if I had to make your sister veteran fourteen. |
