Sonnet
 
     I wrote a sonnet long ago   Of life’s great allies and their foes   Of hearts of love and hearts of stone   And watching lives that live alone      I wrote a sonnet of surprise   Of those who told me I was wise   And those who were there by my side   Until each one met their demise      I wrote a sonnet of the blood   Of men whose legacies become   Legends of the braves who won   Their death to save the ones they loved      I wrote a sonnet in the sand   With words at mind and stick in hand   I scraped the letters slowly and   Engraved my sorrows in the land      I wrote a sonnet just to show   The bravery of those I know   And memories that I must own   I wrote a sonnet long ago
