When I wake up

Many soldiers that go to war may never return to see their families. I just tried to picture what it was like in the old times, when soldiers would sail long distances to go...

HOME COMING

 

Cold and seemingly unending nights

A long time off shore

Forgetting the very sights of dry lands

At every chance of a breath

We long the families we left

 

Memories of mothers and wives

Their farewells to sons and...
