Tears of Joy

Tears of joy

From her eyes

Mother cries

For her only boy

Home from war

From the pain

Lost his memory

Lost his name

He remembers not

The bloody hell

The armies struck

The cities fell

While fires burned

The people cried

The bullets flew

The people died

Then one day

As darkness fell

The message came

To leave the hell

While others left

He waited his turn

He heard not the shot

But felt the burn

Now in silence

He sits alone

Day by day

Growing old

Staring blankly

Into the sky

While mother cries

Her tears of joy
