This pierces the heart.
Such agony when the MOD say: In this pine overcoat, find inclosed, one son, one medal and a note to say he won.
A parents nightmare after years of nurturing and hope. xx |

| Deeply moving and personal words to express every grieving mother's lament, Janna, reflecting that same strength and self-sacrificing love attributed to the son. This tears at the heart - especially as it must be the real experience of so many in our war-stricken world. Bless you for this. xx |

The little guy died fighting other little guys who were fighting monsters on the 'other side'. And all the mother's of all the wars there ever were sat all alone and cried. Meanwhile, the politicians spent their retirement years counting their profit and smugly smiling.
Sad story in your poem well told...

Men still go off to war and die...sometimes wars have no causes and people become disillusioned and asking why. Excellent Janna!

Janna, this is a wonderful and heartfelt poem. But, never mind that. Please tell me and tell soon that it is not about your son or some young man whom you were close to. Because if it is I will feel absolutely miserable!
