A
Mother's tears were shed today
For a battle
long ago,
Her precious gift to a warrior
son,
Whose fate she'll never know.
Not Heroes shiny medals,
For courage
through their fears,
No ribboned badge of
honor
Can match A Mother's tears.
A Mother's tears are courage,
A Mother's
tears are hope,
For the babe once at her
bosom,
Led away in a captive's rope.
Her badge of honor, "Mothers Tears,"
More
precious than the gold,
In all the shiny
medals
Of warriors brave and bold.
A Mother's tears forever,
Undimmed by
grief and years,
Never tarnish ... never
fade,
God's Diamonds ... A Mother's
Tears.
