Oh small things
that make a difference

These things mean a lot,

It is the way
it is....

He said to me.
I thought

do not sweat it
for life is that way

and things went on
that way.........

and off we went,
our merry way

to War...
it was and other
horrible things

and we fought,
and claimed.

and came home,
nothing the same.

That is
the way it is,

sighed my mom,
as I gimped with my new limb...

Oh How?

Can this be?
this new found thing?

The way it IS?
how can this be?

I left it seems
just yesterday...

and today?
it is without means,

but I am told
that is,

the Way it is...

I shall pray things change
for me and my friends...

until then
We go about our ways

and gimp and hurt
and love and such,

that is
The Way it is.

We fight and Love that way
it seems.
