Barb Black Poet I do not know?

She Never

she never said
goodbye
the day he
left with freedom
in his eyes
and courage in
his walk
she only said
see you, son
love you

she never cried
for him
the day they
told her the news
her eyes saw
a sepia toned
childhood 
and dreams that
turned to bone
and ash

she never said
goodbye
the day he
arrived in the flag
the band played
and doves flew
she cried
a single tear
love you, son
see you
