They sing us a song of whistles
That causes so many to die
Falling from wings of a featherless bird
Fighting wars over nothing but pride



A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground

Beautifully written, Kris...

prepared for death and volleys of pride

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Kristopher, this too saddens me so much because I believe what you say, for if war is really about pride then there is no excuse to find a more peaceful way to settle problems! (big hugggsssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristopher, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
