Where are you?
Oh why must you fight;
old men of fortune and faith?
You gallantly ride off;
saying you’ll be home for supper.
Supper comes and goes;
Still no word or return.
Hours slowly turn to days;
Days to months;
Months to years.
Where are you now, my sons?
Where are you now, my husband?
Where are you now my brothers?
Grandfathers, uncles, grandsons?
