The Sky is Falling
When you think the sky is falling
That you’ve missed your life’s calling
When you’re feeling sad and forgotten
Lonely, abandoned and downtrodden
When you think it could get no worse
That you’re living under some curse
When you feel you can’t take another step
That you can’t go on without some help
Look around reach out to another
One of your social sister or brothers
One whose fate has been unkind
Someone who would benefit from your time
Soon your sadness will be gone
Replaced with much gladness and a song
When thoughts of you finally cease
You’ll find the secret to inner joy and peace

Many Vets lose their way/purpose in life. Your new mission in life, the most important you will ever have, is to become a better father, husband, son and neighbor. It doesn't make you weak to become a better human being. You don't have to be one of the military statistics who either commit suicide or end up in prison.
