LIKE A TEAR

(With a nod to a poem by Keith Jeffries as Armistice Day approaches)

...................................................................

In silence I watched the falling leaf

Like a tear that summoned up the grief

For all the lads and mature menĀ 

Who saw war but never saw home again.

Thanks for the comments - and the "likes" as yet another November
11 approaches - and somewhere war still ravages the human condition.
