A Soldier's Ballad by Rudyard Kipling
I have eaten your bread and saltI have drunk your water and wineThe deaths ye died I have watched besideAnd the lives that ya led were mine Was there aught that I did not shareIn vigil or toil ease...One joy or woe that I did not knowDear hearts across the seas? I have written tale of our lifeFor a sheltered people's mirthIn jesting guise... but ye are wiseAnd ye know what the jest is worth.

great poetry, everything was well said and meaningful. How did you know to pick this particular one, great choice. I see that you are very aware guy.
It\'s interesting. I like it. I\'m a big poetry lover. Read it, sing it, write it. So that\'s where my bread and wine went LOL! Let me know when you get hungry again and I\'ll fix you something better to eat.
Art for life\'s funny comments are worth millions! I do intend to bother you!
