Sorrow

The war took my child from me

It took him like the wind catches a leaf

Like it was the most natural thing in the world

The war took my child from me

With sorrow I sit

watching his photo

My beautiful son was taken from me

His eyes, his nose, his hair

The war took my child from me

In response to Keith Douglas' How to kill.

So sad... I can feel the sorrow when the son got taken away, and also makes me think of the war and how cruel it is. Beautiful written, Kristine!
