Before The War.

How could I ever forget?
The last before this trek?
Yes, it was the three of you.
Whom we hold dearest true.

Tiny hands brushing my cheek.
Innocence smiles mild and meek.
How could I ever forget?
The last before this trek?

This does not seem clear.
This is just much to bear.
Behind lines and snares.
We all tremble and fear.

As we stand not together.
Clothes worn and tether.
Fighting what is causing.
Enemies, we are hiding.

Traveling uncharted lands.
Bold and daring, yes we can.
How could I ever forget?
The last before this trek?

How could I ever forget?
The last before this trek?
Standing aside one another.
Ordinary days, undisturbed.
