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…
