Cry Little Sisters Cry

Cry Little Sister’s Cry Steve L. Siegel Sept. 2015 A Sister, a daughter it does not matter which She has lost the person she loved She’s trying her best to be brave as one is now being put to rest But the tears will fall anyway that’s just the way of things ~ + ~ We send our young men easily off to war Somehow we just cannot find a way to end a conflict As easy as we went into a war, why is that? Now we are talking about a new war? ~ + ~ Now I tell all. Cry Sisters cry loud Don’t let them send your Dads and brothers away And now mothers to fight on another mountain top That will be forgotten, in some war that will soon be forgotten. ~ + ~ How many more no names of mountain tops Must we bury our dead and walk away from Before we say we’ve had enough of it So little sister or daughter you'll be able to stop your crying? * To those who gave us their all And the little sisters everywhere God Bless them all…
