    3. Home Of Peace
    4.  

    Thousands of lives
    Gone in an instant
    An instant of terror
    An instant of horror

    As it is in war
    The pattern continues
    Taking the young
    Taking the old

    The wisdom of experience
    Neglected in a moment of anger
    Resolution
    Peace
    But a memory
    A mirage

    Efforts of many thwarted
    By the damage of so few
    Rage on
    But will not prevail

    Time heals all things
    Exhaustion takes it’s toll
    Opening the door
    For the outcome hoped for by all

    The end will come
    It may take time
    But our countrymen
    Our warriors will return home

    Make this a home of peace
    A home for each and everyone
    Allowing time to heal
    Time to just be
