A poem I wrote for my children
A warriors sacrifice

A quiet man I am,
In a world of harsh voices,
The words of which they speak,
Designed to take away my choices.

We fight and fight for those who can't,
Our souls,
Our hearts,
Our minds are yours.

Our deafening screams,
Blood curdling loss,
The voice of a mouse,
At the foot of our shores.

What else can we give,
When so little is left,
Our children it appears,
So much for the best.

Xx
