Frederic Parker Poet Verse

Hallowed Ground

They marched to field
Their fate was sealed
A life to yield
As deaths increase

I closed my eyes
To realize
With deepest sighs
I came in peace


contest Desiderata
Frederic Parker 12/5/14

number 3. With all its shame,drudgery and broken dream,
it's still a beautiful world
