Broken hearts everywhere
My son is gone,
My hearts in pain,
I pray so hard to have him back,
But his letters all come,
From a place called IRAQ.
I ask my God,
Why is he there,
Please keep him safe,
I'm in so much despair.
Oh, Mr Bush,
What have you done?
They're bringing him home,
My only son.
In a flag draped casket,
My son lies at rest,
I didn't even get to say good-by,
Or tell him he was best.
So politicians,fight your wars,
And kill our young and brave,
But I don't see any of your family,
Being put into their graves!.

sorry sis, I know I commented but for some reason it didn't show. As always I love your poems. You do an excellent job. What your poem states is very true. Too many of our young men are being killed because of this war. It is so sad. Great write sis, keep it up. I love you
