War is never over
Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds
...
Fifty years since their lives they gave
So freedom lives the flag still waves
They wanted to live, The same as you
Be with their children, they never knew
...
War Is Never Over
War is never over
Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds
War is never over
So when you welcome heroes home
Remember in their minds they hold
Memories known to them alone
War is never over
Nam veterans know this well
Now other wars bring memories back
Of their own eternal hell
War is never over
For I knew world war two
And I'll not forget the battles
Or the nightmares that ensue
War is never over
Those left home to wait know this
For many still are waiting
It was their farewell kiss
War is never over
Though we win the victory
Still in our minds the battles
No freedom is not free!
I know you have past, though I wanna still say thank you for this poem. This porm moved me once I read it. I am now using it in my presentation in collage. Gold Bless and R.I.P
Mr Harrison, I was very moved by your words and expression. My dad was a WWll vet and my older brother and I are both 'Nam vets. Your poems are descriptive without being graphic, and complete without being wordy. I guess we keep the graphics in our heads, silently. Thank you for your work.
my whole family is made up of veterans so this speaks to me, tho you are dead thank you for this poem
