The View From Here
The View From Here
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson
It is honourable that you were so ready
To go to battle
For a better world.
Your village deserved
For you to fight for them
Like only you can.
I know you really loved
The ones
You sacrificed it all for.
I know the greatest thing
You will ever have done
Was to save someone else.
I only wish there could have been
Just one small thought
To save yourself.

I don't know if this was a personal experience, but you are really coming of age as a poet!
All of God's children singing, holding hands in the rain!
