    Poem Commentary

    Kenny was murdered in Iraq. Adam was murdered in Afghanistan. Timmy is in Washington DC with no legs. These 3 young men are friends of mine and my family. War makes the world very small.

    SOLDIER'S PRAYER

    Good man, doesn't come back
    From Afghanistan and Iraq
    Good friend to my twins
    Now, he's a good guy in the sky
    Soldier I, say goodbye
    As we share, my poetry prayer
    Teaching, preaching, reaching
    Teach-preach, teach 'em to reach
    Let 'em reach, let 'em reach, let 'em reach
    Reach with the heart
    A really good start
    The best reachin' part
    Reach with the heart, reach with the mind
    Reach out and find the heart of mankind
    It's okay to laugh
    It's okay to cry
    It's okay to reach to the sky and ask why
    Okay to reach for reason and way
    To reason with people, don't know what we say
    Reason now, time is today
    Reach somehow a new way to pray
    Dearest, greatest Mohammed, Buddha, Allah, God
    The best part of you in the heart
    Is when, it begins, and then, never ends
    Help our little world behave as friends
    Help hate, be only pretend
    Help love be forever, forever again
    And give us your love
    When, we say "Amen"
    Soldier, people always thinkin' of you
    LOVE YOU
    And you love 'em, as you hover above 'em
    GOD BLESS YOU CHILD

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
