HERODOTUS. He was a Greek Historian. (484-425 B C) What he said thousands of years ago, remains true to this day and will forever remain true.
In peace sons bury their fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury their sons.
HIS BROKEN VOW
His tears of happiness were shed the day
His healthy newborn son was placed in his arms
He realized the miracle that happened that day
He vowed forever to keep him from harm
There was always an unspoken bond between them
One only a father and son knows
There were disagreements but things were righted again
Growing sons sometimes think they know how everything goes
At a time in his life a half grown man, still a boy
The father's son was sent off to war
The mainstay of the man's heart, his love, and his joy
Was leaving to do what his dad did before
His tears of sadness were shed that day
As the flag from the coffin was placed in his arms
Fathers and sons weren't supposed to separate this way
The broken father failed to keep his son from harm
