Ode to the Fallen

• Artist: RainyDaySighs
• Description: Just something I came up with in my free time. I was thinking about my dad who was in the ARMY at the time when I wrote this so it's kinda about what every ARMY Brat fears will happen to their family and what they see happening to their friends family.

Ode to fallen warriors
Who have never been heard
for they silently give theirs
With blood and fear and hate

Ode to their mothers
for every day they continue giving
while sadness and despair
keep taking

Ode to the children
that were left behind
with remnant memories
of the parents’ lives

Ode to the babies
that were never born
or the generations
that will never see dawn

Ode to loves lost
the music that will never
be written,
played,
nor heard.
The art that could have
been shared
and given
