Overflowing Pride

Overflowing Pride
Written: by Tom Wright
November 2015

With remains now scattered to forever meander,
Let my pride in his armed service remain swollen.
Now seated in muteness and with mental gander,
Endeavoring to call back years that I deem stolen;

Though Joe’s ashes now rest in some field alone,
And many, perchance, will blank out his name.
He will never become just a disregarded stone, 
But an additional reminder of war’s cruel game;
