A gunshot sounds off
A crack like thunder through an overcast sky
One heart stops
The hearts of so many others break
Siblings have lost a brother
Parents have lost a son
Children have lost a father
Soldiers have lost a friend
Rain pours on broken ground
Trees whisper in a million sad voices
Mountains so tall and mighty
Stoop down as the world mourns
An individual
Killed in a wave of thousands
Died proudly for love
He is not forgotten
--In memory of all men and women killed in the line of duty.
