Another young soldier has died far away <br />An army representative will call on his mother today <br />For to tell her your son on the course of his duty has died <br />He served and died for his Country with his mates at his side. <br /> <br />Another war mother will grieve for her son <br />It will not matter to her if the battle was won <br />And it will not matter to her if her boy died brave <br />She will weep every time she will visit his grave. <br /> <br />Another young soldier to join the war dead <br />A bullet from a sniper hit him in the head <br />On his next birthday in June he would be twenty three <br />His loss a heavy cross to bear for his parents and members of his family. <br /> <br />Another young soldier may he rest in peace <br />At least from further suffering he has found release <br />Just one more to die in another man's war <br />On a bombed out back street in a city afar.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-young-soldier/
