for so little




The shadows were black as the night
Yet someone knew they were there
The fire was sharp slicing the silence
The boots on the ground ordered 
Special forces who may well have known
Their cover was blown albeit not the why


They lost that night 
One too many lives
Their hearts aching in grief
They alone will weep 
In loving memory 
Of a life 
gone 
why


for so little
so terribly much
lost





(in memory of Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator William Ryan Owens )
