	Veterans/Memorial Day Poem, #28

PROFILE OF A SOLDIER

A young man was he
He went away to war
Young and innocent was ahe
Why wars?
Why me?
Why not me?
He went to war and became a man
He returned different, far older than his years
The scars of war etched on shis soul
Wounds that will never heal
Scars indented on his mind and body forever
A young man
A man
A soldier
... forever.

Written from the heart by Dorothy Sharp
