I OFTEN THINK, by                    
First Line: I often think of life's dark days
Last Line: When the great war was through.
Subject(s): Friendship - False Friends; Fair Weather Friends


I often think of life's dark days
Whose shades were mostly blue,
Of insults heaped upon my head
While I was fighting through,
Of dearest friends, then proven false,
Whom I had thought were true,
Of ideals shattered, masks removed,
And sores exposed to view.

Who was mistaken mattered not—
'Twas up to me to do,
And just how well the task was done,
My friends, I leave to you.
And while I do not favors ask,
In thought I oft review
The battle that I fought those days
When the Great War was through.
