Rest Now, Brave Warrior

we weep for him a soldier shot dead in Iraq they honour him in soft voices and we stand in quiet stillness, sadness and prayer for this young man who lost his life in a distant country far from home and family _______________________________ March 15, 2015 Poetry/Fibonacci/rest now, brave warrior Copyright Protected, ID 15-654-203-15 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Your Favorite Poem, sponsor, Carol Eastman, Judged 04/2015 First Place

A sight witnessed far to many times in our modern era. Will this scene ever cease, that I doubt but I pray it does. Your words grace the image with comfort and respect. Belated congratulations 'Broken Wings' hugs//James :)
