The trumpet lilies are silent with sadness
As the many weeping widows
With their folded flags
Leave red roses
On the rooftops of a new home
And the children
Their hankies wet with promises
Wave goodbye to daddy….
With open hands instead of clinched fists___

A packed and punching piece Ted. As Danny said, if only. Hankies wet with promises - that's brilliant. t x
