HEAVY HEART
My heart is heavy this morning
I visited long gone friends again last night
My thoughts were not of joy but of pain and sorrow
I held some of my friends in my arms as the died
Listened to some die as they cried out in intense pain
Saw some that died as they simply stared into the sky
Relived painful times of long ago and anguished again
I cried for the terrible pain my friends suffered
For not being able to do anything to help them
I cried like I did those many years ago
