Found Button
By Amy Ludwig VanDerwater
Inspiration piece
She sewed it on her hero.
(He was just her hero then.)
He wore this button
on his shirt
the summer he was ten.
Eight years sailed by.
He sailed away
to die with other men.
Oh how his mother
wishes
she could hold
her boy
again.

That really was a beautiful poem.
