It's over they said.
What's Over?
The War is over !
No more fear,
No more terror.
But what's that?
A casket in my living room,
the bundle of joy,
whom I raised for
five and twenty years.
The War is over!
But,
Am I to be happy ? Or
Am I to be sad ?
They say he's a War hero ,
They say I'll be honoured.
The war is over,
Am I to be happy ? Or
Am I to be sad ?
