Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Mother and Daughter

Mother and daughter holding hands,

Ages thirty and three years old,

Share a moment each understands.

A loved one's not with them to hold.

Mother and daughter now without

Husband and father, soldier who

Died while fighting a war about

Reasons nobody really knew.

Mother and daughter remember

On this day with the setting sun,

His birthday, first of September,

Day he would have turned thirty one.

Mother and daughter pray for he,

Who in their time and place not be.
