The War Badge

Wanted you to tell me more.
When I come in contact
I recall you
more and more.
The engraved exuberant medallion,
carried the light above
the nightfall.

It is like life, it holds truth,
it has wins and containing the fails.
The dyes of blood red, dandelion yellow
and emerald green,
flood the soft silky soothing ribbon.
From the depth of abyss,
it finds its final destination—
you left it for me
I will never leave it,
like a mother and her child.
Until you come home,
this emblem shall not
grow old.
