Child's play

In honor of those that have sacrificed so much. Les we forget .

In an open grove there sat a man and a boy,
The man stood up and set down his toys.
where are you going? asked the boy.
Man:I am a man and no longer play with toys.
 
So off the man strode in to the world,
up over a hill and far out of sight of the grove .
After walking for some time, the path became
dusty and unclear. So he took the side road and stopped for a beer.
Time gave to time and that time turned in to years .
Man:Well about time I got out of here.
 
Back on to the path which he assured himself he knew so well.
In to a town  he walked. Up past a windowsill,
there smiled a woman, so beautifully she said; her name was Michelle.
Woman:Come in handsome stranger, stay for awhile.
Time gave to time and that time turn in to years.
Man:Well about time I got out of here.
 
Walking long and far a way from his shame,
He said to himself:I grow tired of this walking game.
But on ward he venture in to a field .There he found many men,
who were working .One man handed him a shovel “here young
man let stir up some trouble!”
So they began to dig many trenches, with a rife in the other hand
they took their defenses .
 
Time gave to time and those left, came to their senses......
 
Man: here now I lay, in my dying breath...
With my best intentions I fought like the rest.
So far from the grove now, he cried: for surly I am lost .
Then came a voice: please wipe your tears, come play with
me .
The man looked around in fear, to his surprise; there stood the boy!
Man: where did you come from?
Boy: I was always right here .
