He Believed Poem by Tom Courtney

He Believed



He believed in the wind
the wind rain and snow
He believed in love
that it’s something we know

He believed in the summer
the best years of life
He believed in hard work
and he believed in his wife

He didn't know politics
He didn't know art
He didn't know science
Maybe he wasn't that smart

But he made his stand
in the best way he knew
And he died just that way
in the field of blue

In the field of white
in a field of deep red
He stood up he stood up
and they shot him quite dead

Johnny my Johnny boy
You believed what they said
You believed and believed
and now you are dead

And they say you’re a hero
We need heroes like you
They wrapped you all up
in the red white and blue

Johnny my Johnny
Why’d you do such and such
They cut your life short
You gave up so much
