Years ago a friend told me of her reaction upon receiving a letter telling her that her son has been killed in Normandy, WW II.

Here is a poem I wrote about her. With sorry for Ruby Hoover and her son, a West Point graduate.

A Mother On the Loss of Her Son At War

She read the letter slowly,

Lay it down, for it was holy.

Walked to the meadow, as in a dream,

Sunk to her knees, and began to scream.
