Unwavering Backgrounds

Had father passed to war

Been a mother of two, not four

Their need of learning more

A military family is no score

Shell shocked man, dies unwell

Working the nights and days

Years deployment for a farewell

Nothing more weighs

Youngster shoe's together, arms lined—

Arms lined too young,

Their fates have already be intertwined,

With no chance, be their bodies strung
