So Many Soldiers
Living On The Street
Their Spirits Broken,
With Defeat.
What Must They Think
When They Look Around
Eyes Passing By,
Staring At The Ground?
Does Anger Fill Them
When We Turn Away,
From The Debts We Owe
That Should Be Repaid?
What If At That Moment,
Just Once, Instead
We Saluted In Honor,
Right Hand To Head?
To Let Them Know
They Are Not Ghosts,
Thanking Them For Being
Braver then most.
If Everyone Would
Show Them Grace
We Just Might Find
Their Pain Erased.
For All The Heroes
Still Fighting To Live
And For Heroes Like You,
Who Continue To Give.
If You See Someone
Who Is Really Lost
Please Stop And Remember
What Our Freedom Costs.
From the Disabled American Veterans
