ON THE DEATH OF A SON IN BATTLE

… for Jack

By Flora Jackson Sawyer

For what gain the warrior's sword
or what sure, lasting, rich reward,
was worth the pain and suffering endured?
“Tis FREEDOM!

O, let each lonely mother's son
or daughter's death prove they have won
a certain breach 'gainst evil's constant tide -
THEIR WORK DONE!

We, by FAITH, must don the battle gear
of PRAYER and FAITHFULNESS – now free from fear -
above the hateful din sound loud and clear
OUR STAND, HERE!
