Position:Home>Poetry> Heart wrenching poem/story?

the concept of this story is kind of well known, but as far as i know its never been writin in poem form, so i decided to give it a go, heres my version!.



a telephone rings
"mom and dad, ive come home from war"
what joy it brings to finally hear
from the son they adore

"but, my dear parents
i must ask a great favor
i've this friend i'd like to bring
a war hero, a life saver"

"sure, bring him with you
We'd both love to meet him"
"Dad you dont understand
a land mine took two of his limbs"

"I'm sorry to hear that son
we'll help find him some place to live"
"I want him to live with us dad
think of what he had to give"

"it would be a great burden
to deal with such a handicap
a great deal of money
and its money we lack"

there was a short pause
and then the line went dead
his parents had spoken
and quite enough had been saidWww@QuestionHome@Com
