A sad feeling with this piece, Paul. "Solemn face without a name..." - There are several similar references in your works. This fact always angers me. To the government, soldiers are just a number. They seem to ignore the profound effects of war on the individual. A haunting poem!

Paul,
You have painted a heartfelt picture in your words, and your rhyme is right on target! I cannot rhyme, I find free verse just flows easier for me, but you have mastered the skill!
Hugs,

Paul,
"Voices etched from decades gone,
echo moments when alone.
With tested spirits, gave our souls,
were left to wither in the fold. "
Excellent flow

After a long awaited weekend visitation caused by false allegations of sexual abuse, Glen got to see his children for the first time in over two months. He promised them that they would never be apart again and then they disappeared.
TRUE STORY. Bella survived an abusive powerbroker father with organized crime ties, a drug-addicted mother and a physically/sexually abusive brother. Shocking & inspirational. When she couldn't cry, she tattooed a crying angel to cry for her.
