Children of War Poem by David Michael Jackson

Children of War Poem

We’ll give them all to the
war, these children of
our hearts, we’ll let them march
away, we’ll wait for their return,
we’ll wait beside the spring, we’ll
wait beside the spring
hoping for the best
wishing for the best
praying for the
rest.
Oh will you rest beside me
as the water gently flows.
Oh will you walk beside me
when the water gently flows

I’ll carry you into
the forest
We’ll make it our home
I’ll run among the branches
until I find you
waiting for me
like
an
angel.
Yes
We’ll give them all to the
war, these children of
our hearts, we’ll let them march away,
we’ll wait for their return, we’ll
wait beside the spring.
