you said for me to tell you thank you
i said for what
and you replied with a matter a fact kind of way
"because i gave you your freedom"
and i could have just said thank you to this gentlemen and been on my way
but i felt all the fury inside burst
and i said i fought for my freedom just like you did
with a puzzled look on his face he said young lady you have never even seen hardship
and as i stared into his glassy eyes i saw my whole life flash before my eyes
and i realized maybe it was the other way around
maybe he had never seen hardship
maybe what i had seen he wouldnt be able to endure
because he had been in war and the mind can cope a little better when they are aware that they are in a time of warfare
but when you dont expect it it can only damage
should he have thanked me? because he didnt have to see those things. if he saw his mother murdered would he become clincly insane or if his father saved his life but losthis own wouldhe have commited suicide
if he had noone that thanked him would he still be here
