Disabled,
Wheel-chair bound,
Unable to speak,
He wastes his days away,
But the lines on his face tell his story.

Chaotic,
Fearful,
Life-threatening,
The life he is living.

Brave,
Courageous,
Selfless,
He fights for his country.

Decorated,
Honored,
Respected,
He sits up proud,
The lines on his face tell his story.
