Stories & Poems About War


 

"Come Take Us Home"

 

We did our jobs, and we did them well
and because of fate, were in this Hell!

 

Were POWs and MIAs

 Still living with hopestill counting the days.

 

Were out of sight, and out of mind

Almost forgottenby all mankind.

But there are those, who seek to find
those of us, still left behind.

 

For we still trust, that well be found
and then be freed, and homeward bound.

We dont know how, that will be done

But we believe, that day will come!

The war goes on, for us that wait
another dayanother date.

And those we love so far away

Are in our hearts, each passing day.

We pray to God for our release

So we can have some lasting peace.

 

Were POWs and MIAs

Come take us homewhy not today?
