To my brother John M Dudley You went away to fight in a foreign land And I stayed behind not able to understand How you could just leave and go away And not think about the people that had to stay Stay here at home and not have a clue About the war and what it was doing to you We tried to talk and open your mind So you could see our love and not leave us behind But you had a plan and knew what you had to do And no one or nothing was going to change you Now that I am older and a little more wise I do understand why you had to pick sides Now I understand why you felt you had to go To make a better life for people you did not know You did what you had to do and gave your life And now your are standing in God's holy light I hope to join you someday in heaven above And look on the face that I have always loved
