Sadness is here
It fills everything
Makes ones’ heart
Ring
With the pain
In their eyes
The pain of them knowing
There will be no surprise
Of daddy coming
Home early
From this war
No daddy to point out
The first shining
Star
He had sacrificed
Everything he had
So others may have
The joy of their dad
Coming home
If we end the fight
Halfway done
Will this war have not been
Just a pun
In the larger scale
Of the world’s cycle
If we as Americans
Do not finish what is right
If we do not finish
And win this evil fight?
