A sudden boom <br />A moment’s pause — <br />A wondering where <br />Or what the cause <br />Then back about our chores. <br />The noise forgot — <br />The day is hot; <br />What thought have we for wars: <br />Until our loved one must depart; <br />Now it’s our family torn apart: <br />The strife now is our own.<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sudden-boom/
