A Son At War

From “Daily Given & Other Poems” God be with thee, my beloved son – God be with thee Until you return. Many treacherous there be Before to reach friends and daddies But all of them are going to wait for the same sun’s light. There shall not be farewell or a yellow ribbon or blue And there cannot tears from us just smile behind the whole life into taken. Alas! I can see you as a son at war Working in a height way and honor. All shall reach thee. God be with thee, my beloved son – God be with thee As the last fading from a lovely cactus!
