Hark! |

|
Hark; it is again, the Eleventh hour.
Do you know
where your Children are?
Could they be on a ship headed
for a foreign land?
If you could call them back, wouldn't
it be grand?
Are they flying through the skies in a
fighter plane,
Going on their way to fight for freedom
again?
This generation has been good at breeding war
and, now, on our Children falls the chore.
I saw our
Sons as they were trudging through the sands
carrying our
hopes along with rifles in their hands.
Hark; it is
again, the Eleventh hour...
Do you know where your Children
are? |

Author...
Faye Sizemore makes her home in the beautiful foothills of South Carolina with Grant, the love of her life, as well as three dogs, two cats, two parakeets and four nanny goats. Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
