Excerpt
PAPER MEDAL
Upon his back he lay, his final day.
Into the sand his life poured from him
There upon the sand of his own land.
It was there he met the victorious ones.
From his shattered armored vessel he did crawl,
only to escape such flames, compelled from hell.
Alone; here he was left, failure of war.
Onward in fury the gallant and heroic charged.
That is heroes; perceived and seen by many.
Though here, through my eyes I saw bravery,
for reluctantly into his pocket he did reach.
From there he retrieved a picture of life,
a picture of two; like father, like son.
In his hand he did hold, his life.
That life, which he must now leave.
A hero that he was—medal in hand.
