The Long Trip Home © 2007 Laurence E Butterfield (An unsigned songwriter)http://home.comcast.net/~vermonter13/home.html It’s a long trip home …Though the flight won’t take longIt’s not the miles or hours involvedBut rather what’s wrongSome return physically intactBut suffer from PTSDTheir world is forever changedAnd will never again beWhen you left for the warHe was complete and wholeBut now that he’s returningHis life is paying the tollIt’s a long trip home …One some will never makeWhat they’ve had to endureSome are never able to shakeOthers are physically maimedSuch as the loss of a limb …Some are blinded and worseThere world looks pretty grimSome will return confusedWhy they lost public supportAnd won’t understand whyThe mission they need abortWhen you left for the warHe was complete and wholeBut now that he’s returningHis life is paying the toll It’s a long trip home …One some will never makeWhat they’ve had to endureSome are never able to shakeWas it all for naughtThe loss of many friendsAll the wounded comradesAnd to what endsSome will endure monthsOf physical pain and tearsAnd medical treatment That may take yearsSome will never return toTheir previous life and worldHaving lost their loved onesAs their families unfurledWhen you left for the warHe was complete and wholeBut now that he’s returningHis life is paying the tollIt’s a long trip home …One some will never makeWhat they’ve had to endureSome are never able to shakeWhat they’ve had to endureSome are never able to shake
