All we could give you
Was a heart for what you did
When you really needed help
To heal your shellshocked head
Or a place to stay
When the mortgage you couldn’t pay
Or a decent job for when you were discharged
Trying to make ends meet as a civilian-at-large
But all we could give you
Was a medal on your chest
As the only recognition you gave us your best
Though much more to you was due
And for that
I wish our country could have honored you
Much better
