A Soldier's Wife

And on that fateful day
A soldier there did lay
Upon the ground in pain
He cried out in pain but, t'was in vain

He had fought so many a day
In the war that was all decay
All he wanted was to go back
To the place where love was not in lack.

The soldier prayed someone would come
And tip onto his wounds cleansing rum
Then take him away
To a safe place to stay.

When his rescuer arrived
The soldier was no longer deprived
Of the tender love he desired
It burned flamed and fired.
