From the book Tears of Ink, by LCDR Roberto J. Prinselaar, U.S. Coast Guard (ret)
Wounds Of War
Some wounds of war
Are never seen
They're buried deep within
No open wound
No Purple heart
No blemish on the skin
But these are wounds
That leave a scar
Upon our very soul
They tear our hearts
Cause misery
And take a heavy toll
Our bloodless wounds
Cause us to ask
Oh God, what was it for
We go through life
Not knowing why
We have these wounds of war
