MEMOIRS OF WAR AND PEACE
I am writing my mom's memoirs online
She just turned 93
She's seen World Wars throughout her life
A journey through the last century
And every time the boys came home
She shared their sweet relief
That someone who cared
Used a pen: Mightier than the sword!
To wage a war for Peace
While they obeyed the dictates
Of far-away masters who claimed
(In their poison bid for money or fame)
That weapons are the ONLY way
To win this "war"
If all the money came home
To help our own children live and grow
Are we afraid our children will fall
In the bid to return freedom and democracy
To All?
Or will they know the purity
of Compassion's call?
