A Hero's Welcome By Aristide Ndahayo Poem by Aristide NDAHAYO

A time to come home dear brother
your tour of duty through
you've given as much as anymore
could do expected to do

Just a few steps further
the smoke will start to clear
others here will guide you
you have no need of fear


You have not failed your brother
you clearly gave it all
and through your selfless actions
others will hear the call

So take your place of home
among those who has gone before
and know you will be remembered
for now, and evermore
