Don Black’s Tribute to SPC French

Don Black at Grump Thoughts has written and posted a poem inspired by SPC Carrie French, which he also posted in my comments section. It deserves a post of its own. Thanks, Don.

Inspired By
SPC Carrie French

Her eyes danced with laughter,
sparkled with intelligence,
smiled with acceptance.

Her smile brought smiles,
automatic brightening of day,
everyone found hope there.

Hatred took the smile,
killed the light in her eyes,
but will never touch the memory.

Those who wear the uniform,
those who love our country
enough to serve and defend,
become our children; always.

Our prayers, tears, hopes,
rest with you, our children.
Child, because of you,
we live free.
