A Warrior's Heart

Who can know a warrior's heart?


A heart that has been shattered by the sound of the gun, by the violence of mortal combat, by terror in the night, by fallen comrades.


Dreams that become nightmares, both waking and sleeping.


A heart full of great courage, a heart full of great fear.


A heart joyous in victory,  a heart downtrodden in defeat.


Battles that should not be remembered, filled with moments that should not be forgotten.


Returned from the violent field, yet peace comes not, or ever so slowly.


We cannot know.


But God knows a warrior's heart, He is the Great Warrior.


Dear Father, bring Your Peace to our Warriors, returned from the battle.
