Only the eyes of a loved one,
Truly knows what it is to lose
A son,
A daughter,
A grandson,
A granddaughter,
A nephew,
A niece,
An uncle,
An aunt,
A brother,
A sister,
A father,
A mother,
A grandparent,
Or a friend...
Especially in
The unbearable,
Useless act of War...
The unbearable,
Useless act of man...
To those
Who know not
Of what these feelings convey.
Pay tribute in a moment's silence.
Wrap your arms round those
Who grieve.
Look out for the veteran,
Who eats from discarded waste
And bleeds to be heard...
Your kindness is all they ask,
Your remembrance;
An infinite embrace,
In words
And in thoughts...
Your words
And thoughts,
A warm comforting poem...
A kiss of humanity
And love...
