In all my years I never thought
The war would come to pass;
Even though I lived in the army show
I never thought, alas.
The story that sticks well with me
Is the one of the farmer girl
Who found a fallen soldier
In the barn, for sure.
She snuck him homemade bread
And cheese and talked with soft
Soft words and deeds.
Who do you wish to be?
