Spoils of War (FROM PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE HEART)

You fought your war long ago



Folks at home are not your foe



That line drawn in the sand

Was far away in a distant land

Let go of all that fear and hate



And bursting bombs that still vibrate

Now that you are back at home

Why can’t you leave that war alone?

You served you country three times over

Don’t fight that war with your lover

We all know that war is hell

And far too many from your troop fell

It’s time for you to face the fact

Those Marines aren’t coming back

Even though it’s harsh to say

That was then, now its today



Somehow you must encase

All the horrors you have faced

Bury them forever more

Keep that hate outside your door

Otherwise you’ve sealed your fate



The ones who love you will not wait

Can’t you see how hard they try?

And all the tears you’ve made them cry

You fought your war, that time is past

Although your memories are vast

You have a home, a wife and child

Why can’t you try just once to smile?

Love is warm but can grow cold

Wither, die, turn green and mold

Be careful you don’t let it fade

Love is earned, it is not made

She tries so hard to make it last

Could the final scene be cast?

We all know you had it rough

But maybe she has had enough

Screams and shouts echo down the hall

As you throw things against the wall

How long do you think this can last?

Your war is over, it’s in the past

God help this Marine to see

His war is over, now he’s free

Demons raging in his head

No more blood must be shed

Help him learn to find his way

Back into the light of day

Take away all his hate

Please don’t make his family wait

Until the day it is too late!

Please help me and my daughter, Sara and others working to spread the word to everyone we can reach. This young 27 year old soldier and his family need our help.



Please help us help Bobby, as he now fights his battle no longer on the battlefield, but from his bed in Walter Reed Medical Center, Baltimore, Maryland. He fought his battles in Iraq and Afghanstain not only for America, but for everyone who lives in a free country. Now it is our time to help Bobby fight his way back to health.



We can only do that by giving back to him a tiny party of what he has sacrificed for each of us. Please, won 't you help me and my daughter help Bobby?



As of last night, Bobby has been put back on the ventilator to help him breathe as an infection attacks his lungs making breathing on his own difficult and more stressful to his body.



Please help us by giving what you can. No amount is too small. Every donation is appreciated and brings hope to Bobby and his family.



Click on the link below and you will be directed to a safe, secure sight where you can make a donation.



Thank you!
