SOLDIERS

Barely eighteen he was asked to fight 
For his country all day and night 
In a battle to face the common foe 
To Flanders Fields Tom Jenkins must go 

Killings and bombings were all around 
Tom Jenkins saw men shot to the ground 
The safe haven for Tom was a deep wide trench
Comrades of men causing a terrible stench 

Wars have continued on since that day 
Men and women have been killed along the way 
Remember always the fallen and the dead 
When it's time for you to go to bed
