they left peace behind – v2

When they left this country
they left peace behind them
in going to war, in going
to distant far away lands

Our prayers are yet with them
going as they were called;
They are on guard out in the world
protecting what we hold dear

they left peace behind
inspired by readings at Poets’ Corner
