Excerpt: "Cry of an Unborn Son beside a Flag-Draped Coffin"
Poet: .D. LuCxeed in solitude, poem inspired by a true story, in the upcoming poetry book with art "Love's Footsteps ~ dedicated to a Bridge for Wisdom to Walk on", www.loves-footsteps.com -
...
Inside, withered, is blood of life.
Outside, like a river, flow tears of grief,
From the cry of an unborn child for his father,
From the cry of an eight-month pregnant
Woman for her unwed husband.
Coffin's almost failed to bear... but wept,
Hiding beneath the draped flag, also wet.
...
(Footnote to the poem "Cry of an Unborn Son beside a Flag-Draped Coffin": "to save a soldier's life is to save a father for his child, spare a widow's cry, give back a family's future light.")
