A long time ago, Dad
In a galaxy
far far away
In a time
just after one war
Before another
He grew up, just in time
To fight
And lived.
In my galaxy
far far away
I remember
and wish
I understood the way from there
To here;
His war so
far away from this
His fear, and yet he knew the way
And paid
His price so
dear.
For that
galaxy far far away
As space and
continents
And prison
walls to isolate
His time to
now
His war to
this
His home,
his dreams, Dad this
Seems a very
strange time to remember
A hundred
years
A long time
ago.
