When warriors go to war
We worry
Waiting for triumph
Men and women at their best
When warriors fall
We think of the battlefield
The glory of heroism
Men and women and their bravery
When warriors fail
We look in horror
Asking how can this be
Men and women at their worst
When warriors return
We are fickle
Mystified
Men and women surprised
When warriors train
We ignore
Doubtful
Men and women prepared
When warriors grow old
We forget
Why
Men and women forgotten
When warriors pass on
We remember
Have a parade
Men and women laid to rest
