Dear Friend: An Ode to War
Look now to the sea my dear friend
Freedom there awaits
The splashing sound of its waves
In memory retains
Feel the touch of its cold breeze
And the lullaby it sings
Hold on to its promises
The end that it hymns
Don’t be saddened my dear friend
Don’t give up and fall
This tribulation, this war would pass
I promise I would give my all
The long ago sweet memories
May haunt your dreams awake
The pretty faces and smiling glances
Would beg you on to haste
It breaks your heart, I know it does
That here we continuously stand
But never fear my doleful friend
For I will hold your hand
So don’t be saddened my dear friend
Never give up nor fall
To these enemies we are to face
I promise to give my all
Side-by-side we shall fight
Through victory or defeat
But we won’t give up until the end
We would never accept retreat
We’ll face this world and this land
Even as we’re hurt
Some hit here and some blow there
Yet we won’t face the dirt
Don’t be saddened my dear friend
Though your journey here ends
With tears in my eyes and sobs from my lips
I won’t forget you then
I hold your hand forevermore
And press your heart to mine
Until that moment we’ll see again
Each other and be entwine
