Beyond those Mountains <br />Far across the sea <br />Somewhere she waits at home <br />I know she misses me <br /> <br />She doesn't know that I am free <br />From the letters that I keep <br />I've played my part says this purple heart <br />She gets what's left of me <br /> <br />I've seen sounds and sights one might <br />Find so hard to believe <br />And each time I would see such things <br />A piece of me it fell from me <br /> <br />The war is over for me now <br />Alone she waits for me <br />I only hope she accepts what is left <br />And that there is enough to keep <br /> <br />I don't feel victoriously <br />Part of me died in those fields <br />Some they say in time we forget <br />I don't believe I ever will <br /> <br />Honey I am coming home <br />Back home where I belong <br />But the boy that you once knew <br />I'm afraid is forever gone.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-those-mountains/
