Another Soldier is Home

Knock! Knock! Someone is at the door- But I am too scared to answer it Thump. Thump. I can do this, I just have to open the door I approach the door Thump. Thump. My heart is racing as I reach for the door knob. I see the men in uniform I hit the floor crying, screaming, praying Is this real? Why me? Why him? Please somebody wake me up from this nightmare The funeral home is full of men in uniforms Family, friends, and people here just to honor him He gave the biggest sacrifice for his country Everyone is thankful for the gift of freedom he fought for Hugs and apologies for my loss Placed in the ground, Flowers on top of the casket Bang! Bang! the guns have sounded And the bugles played Another soldier has come home.
