On our porch
he holds our daughter on his lap
as she gazes out the window
at the setting sun.
She looks up at his face
their eyes, so alike
meet
for only a moment
I pray that in his
daughter’s eyes he might
discover something
familiar
a spark of life
of love.
But he only smiles and looks away
out the window
towards the battlefields
he’ll never see again
but never truly leave.

excellent work...
John
What a heartbreaking piece! Casualties of war don't always have to result in death. Your words punctuate it so well.

Be always safe,
