On it's boundaries always pushing,
Leaping, scrambling, onward surging,
Swiftly moving, onward lurching.

Happiness is quite a thing,
Can turn a pauper to a king,
Makes poor in spirit chant and sing,
Yet what true hope doth therein lie?

Soldier, here I stand and wonder, thinking of the distant thunder,
Of the cannons that once shook the very dirt beneath your feet,
Fire that split the sky above you, turning red what once had been blue,
What a war you were thrust into! Not a moments peace to keep!

Would easy make them faint,
But when I see a pool of blood,
It could as well be paint.

Tuning out the crowd's coarse thunder,
Knowing that a single blunder,
Could forever change the game.

It's spreading leafy arms,
The light that filters through, i see,
Is glowing green and warm.
...
In silence rolls the ambulance,
Down narrow streets, neath giant oaks,
Shadows 'cross the windshield dance
Setting a soft ambience,
...
