To My Buddy Poem by C.R. Ebowski
To My Buddy
I don’t understand
Somebody please explain
Why my buddy died
We suffered through
The endless summer heat
The sand and sweat
Bullets never touched us
Though there were
Some very close calls
Mortars were lobbed in
Landing right in our mix
But we all walked away
Over a year we served
In the most vile country
And lived to tell our war stories
I understand your frustration
And why you gave up
I don’t blame you for dying
Somebody please explain
Why my buddy died
Why he didn’t take me with him

C.R....Always difficult losing someone close to you...even more poignant when you've been through Hell and back again, with someone you hold very dear indeed. My heart goes out to you. Just as you made your way through Hell...I hope you can find your way through sorrow...and out the other side. Good writing...very captivating! Hugs, Dee
