From Kimberley:
“Family left behind;
In a foreign world with no respite;
Ideological beliefs,
For which patriots are willing to fight.
Mind altered,
By mans cruelties to one another.
Nightmares that begin there,
Will stay with the patriot forever.
You may not understand,
Why a patriot would be willing,
With prior knowledge of what may come,
To be a target the enemy is killing.
The only way to answer such a question;
If inside yourself you see,
The passion, pride, love and honor,
The patriot feels for their country.”

So somber and sad Kimberley – and oh so true.
Your painting portrays the reality of war.
