Soldier Tears by Kenneth A. Brown

One night in Iraq a soldier looked to the sky.
He posed a question to God as to why.
"Why all the fighting; I don't understand",
Was the question he asked, as he stood in the sand
He searched the high heavens above
Thinking "If we truly are one world, then where is the love"?
And that's when he saw it; shining so bright
His question answered ... a tear fell from his eye
The kids always know it; now he knew it,
The Little Dipper flies over the Middle East too.
