| Civil War |  |
| Cannons boomed and muskets roared
Captains yelled and brave men fought.
Upon the field where rain had poured
Awash in mud, freedom was sought.
A battle fought for their children and wives
They knew the price that must be paid.
Many would have to pay with their lives
In hopes that their dreams would never fade.
Brother fighting brother in the rain
No end in sight to this dreadful day.
But even after all the death and pain
Their leaders could find no other way.
Upon this battlefield so drear
Carrion birds circle up above.
Men search for their friends they hold dear
Fearing the Lord now embraced them in love. | By Scott Stone
