She walked the fields that morn,
bodies dead and mangled - all torn.
One - barely alive - His eyes did
beckon, "I'll hold him now,
To die I reckon."
Head fallen slack in her arms,
he died that day near her farm.
Their day would come - born anew,
to be chosen like angels few.
Some far away time - some distant place,
there sat a lost and kindly face.
She'd found him once again!
He held no rifle. It was a pen..
