A ghostly image of a soldier
stood in the background,
as a mother with a babe in her
arms stood by a grave site.
She lowly whispered, "Father
this is your son. Son this is your
Father, he gave his life so that
others might live."
Shirley Smothers, TX
This is a mental pain that many people suffer due to the terror that is war.
As a woman and a veteran I realize that women die and leave behind families. I wrote this poem before women were allowed into battle.
