Come Morning

son coming home
black dress draped on bed
will she survive mourning


Dedicated to all the mothers who have lost a son to war.

Mothers are made of strong stuff and somehow most of them find a way. Thanks for visiting Kayode.

War is never kind. I don't believe sad begins to describe the suffering of a mother who loses her son to combat... I've witnessed it at my friend's funeral. It's great that you wrote this!
