Who Thou?
Coulds’t thou
Smell incoming rain
Inhale the misty skies
Explore the inner-pain
Left by all the lies
Woulds’t thou
Drink the rain drop
Lick the morning dew
Slow down and stop
Even if it were true
Shoulds’t thou
Till up fertile ground
Chop up wild weeds
Change your life around
Planting positive seeds

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.
