Dust Off Angel

J Smith

2006

Within the heavens a new star shall shine this night

For each warrior who fell this day

But who shell come to the battles edge

Too wade in the rice patty stench and muck

To walk in the napalm’s burning flash

As they cradle the fallen within their arms

Angels cloaked in garments of war

For they, warriors themselves

In battles and times

that have gone before

Have stepped from the battles edge

Too lift up and take a brother home
