Tears In The Armour Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

the crying


Silent tears fill eyes
From a well deep inside
Regrets.
A life lived but not fulfilled.
Silent tears fill eyes
Love not received
Love not given.
Silent tears fill eyes
The sound of a plane afar
Will it ever land.
Silent tears fill eyes
If not dreams
Will fade and flowers wizen.
On the steps a child
Looked towards the morning sun
Her heart was full
Of love and future.
A bomb falls when it stops
The child will be no more.
Silent tears for the cruelty
That kills children.
