Sterling Tears

Birth of a nation birth of a child Celebration tears from soldier proud He can be her she can be the All tears of love in the infantry My cousin fought in Vietnam His name is as hard as his job then As a medic he saw many sons And daughters at their bloody end The blue tears he has for years Are all streaming inside In war he fought for those tears Aftermath he stays high to not cry What made my soldier cry so raw Is a land that his ancestors were enslaved And yet he fought for all Despite injustice for the black man today. 7/2/2022 Written for TEARS OF A VALIANT SOLDIER CONTEST Sponsor Faraz Ajmal
