War Diaries Day Fifteen

War Diaries
Day Fifteen


The happiest moment of my life was riding in that helicopter
Watching the blades turn against the blue sky
It felt like heaven
I almost forgot where I was
We touched down at home base
An army of doctors stood waiting for me
Their gear had me thinking I was dangerous goods
Don’t worry this is just precautions one said
You will be just fine said another
Its hard to believe with everything that happened
That I will be just fine
With all the memories seared into my brain
It will take me a lifetime
A lifetime to forget.
