He Had To Start Crying
He Had to Start Crying
Was terrifying,
So he had to start crying;
People were dying.
The hopes and fears of all the years
Did not create any crocodile tears
Were real as can be each and everyone
What if had been your daughter or son?

Retired Veteran. Poet and Father
My son was killed in a fishing accident
and my father was killed in an accident
on board Aircraft Carrier Intrepid. I know
what I am talking about and doubt if
some others do on TV discussions.
