Desert Sky

So beautiful we can’t help but cry As the sun sets in the desert sky The horizon with all its colors to share Strip the soul and leave it bare Leaving one to contemplate With all its trials life is great The parched earth has turned to dust Returning to it, we all must The tragedy is with those left behind With all the memories they try to find I have seen it all before Nothing less – nothing more We give our hearts to those we love Place our faith in the Lord above As the horizon accepts the setting sun Just like this day my poem is done

First of all Michael, I will be praying for your son, these young men are so brave and it makes me man when i see people protest the war. they have to think what that does to our troops over there. any way this poem you wrote here is beautiful and so warm and tender, the setting sun is so beautiful. thank you for reading my another soider fell today and for your comment.
