Weight of the World

Crows-feet run on,
attesting to trials of survival
from dustbowls
and our Great Depression
to the stench of death
upon Europe's hallowed ground
and upon the beaches of Iwo Jima.

Trace the map
of your existential trials
through the years,
the smiles,
the laughter,
and the tears.

You buried your innocence
with humility …and blood
so that sons and daughters
might know their own.
