THOUGHTS OF YOU

Thoughts of you bring laughter to my soul
In this horrible war torn place
Thoughts of you make me smile
And keeps me from going insane
Thoughts of you give me strength
To keep going another mile

Thoughts of you are what keep me alive
When everything looks bad
Thoughts of you are what give me hope
When my future looks dark and sad

Thoughts of you are what I miss
When my childish innocence was lost
Now I have fewer thoughts of you
And those ones may come with a cost

But the thoughts of you are all I have
They are what keeps me strong
And the thoughts of you I can reach
Give me the will to carry on
In this place, this war torn Vietnam.
