Daddy?

I hear ya, mama

I'm bleedin', Daddy

Un-huh, I'm bleedin' too, mama

. . . but . . . daddy . . . the war's over,

all your bleedin' is through

Mama?

Yes, daddy?

The war ain't over until I'm done

Bleedin' isn't always visible on the surface. I imagine it lingers a while inside heads. Your daughter will know no difference other than she has her daddy.

It lingers: excellent way to put it.  Appreciate your time, Paul

One of my favourite quotes, "Why do the good guys always win? Because they get to write the history books." Tom

Loved this poem, it's simplicity that says so much.

No one goes to war and ever comes back, so true and you've captured something so complex with simplicity, really appreciated this TJ
