War Medal

Our grandfathers and great grandfathers,
Wear them with great pride,
Small tokens of the battles fought,
Of the many tears that were cried.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Bombs fall down like rain,
BANG, BANG, BANG!
Angry guns fire with rage.

Strong soldiers sadly say goodbye,
To strangers who became family,
This medal now glares at me,
It beams with victory and pride,
It is a storyteller,
It is my grandfather's war medal.
