"Only one Soldier killed Today"
The news headlines proudly scream;
As if that's a military victory.
But the Soldier who died,
For him I still cry---
That Soldier belonged to me.
A dear son, a husband, a father;
We grieve for our loved-one true;
Only one Soldier lies dead today,But
What if that Soldier belonged to you?
