Show Me the Way….
Two decades ago
As a Soldier I’ve been
To a place called Bosnia
I witnessed things there that were obscene
I go to that place in my mind every day
Hoping the memories will soon go away
I’ve been many times since
To face my fears
Knowing one day I will stand
Once more with pride
In Sarajevo, moj grad
and the ghosts of my past will one day subside
Twenty years now since this July
The 11th it started
When those from Srebrenica
From their loved ones were parted
In the few days that followed
There took place a slaughter
That left one I loved
A Fatherless Daughter
For two decades now
I have followed God’s path
My memories and pain I know cannot last
Many times Lord now to you I have prayed
So once more I ask you
Please
“Show Me the Way”
My inner strength now I must find
To take control of my wandering mind.
