Look Through My Eyes

war

As a child everything was an adventure
In the world of play I could see myself
Playing baseball become Al Kline or Norm Cash
In the world of education I could see myself
As Davy Crockett fighting Indians
Abe Lincoln becoming President
At the movies I was always the hero
I was Zorro, the Lone Ranger, Flash Gordon
On any given Saturday
As I looked through my eyes
As a teen life became a world of pretend
As I dream dreams
I was the adventurer, explorer, engineer
Being more than I always was as I looked through my eyes
I learned about life dreaming the dreams
Becoming the hero
Words of encouragement and challenges by a young President named Kennedy
I was ready to accept and become the man I was meant to be
As I looked through the eyes of a young man
Going off to war I came to see the true reality of life
My world taught me about survival and the sadness of death
Of not really being in control
My idea of being a hero changed from me to the men around me
As I looked through the eyes of war
Now as an old man who has expierenced life fully
I look at my children and grandchildren and see them dream dreams
Becoming the heroes and I just smile knowing how they feel
Knowing that life comes full circle they will become what they are meant to be
As I look through the eyes of an old man I have no regrets

This is awesome, Doc..... I'm sure there are others who would identify with it....
I especially loved this stanza--->
"Going off to war I came to see the true reality of life
My world taught me about survival and the sadness of death
Of not really being in control
My idea of being a hero changed from me to the men around me
As I looked through the eyes of war"
