Fourth of July


Dear Jesus, bring my daddy home.
Bad people fire guns at him
and booby-trap the roads.

Bring home my pretty sister too.
She writes to mom about the boys
who lose a leg or finish their
patrol then shake as if they'll fall apart.

I see her tears on every page.
She has a nurse's heart.
