Eternal Sleep
Dedicated to all the mothers Who Weep
Deep Down Below
Wishing not to be known
You yearn for the embrace
Of your sweet love
so far away at home
Staring down the Enemy
The enemy of the day
"Lord, I pray my soul to keep","
You mutter away.
Gazing at the morning red sky
You look to a mate
Quietly asking "WHY"
For so many of your
Friends are forever asleep
God, Country, and Freedom
Seems so far away.
You vowed to bring freedom
But why do so many mothers weep
For those now eternally asleep.
So, this is War!
You’ll give your all!
Praying to God
"Father let me fear not eternal; sleep."
But still more mothers weep;
For those joining the eternally sleep.
Author's Note - This poem I wrote in 2008 when I learned a friend from my youth was murdered in a street in Iraq. He was a truck driver from the United Kingdom, I wrote this and dedicate it to all the mothers who weep over their lost sons and daughters.
