Sarah's Dad (War In Iraq) Poem by Sam Dale

“I stand alone in a sandy place
There is blood and scars all over his face
He’s fighting for freedom and he’s fighting for truth
He’s 17 and it’s the end of his youth”

That’s what daddy told her
But his visions just a blur
Sarah hasn’t seen her dad
It’s all because America’s gone mad

Sarah wakes up every morning
Her dad can’t sleep, he lives with warning
Sarah gets herself some breakfast
Her dad can’t eat there’s been another blast
She hops in the car; her mom takes her to school
Her dad takes another life, this world is so cruel

Sarah’s dad just wishes that he could be with her
