Window Star
By S. Arthur Yates
Resplendent, they appear.
Strangers, unwelcome.
Polite, always polite.
Strangers, unwelcome.
Details few, words hollow.
Strangers, unwelcome.
Notification - complete.
Strangers, unwelcome.
The drape, arrives later.
Strangers, unwelcome.
Blue star to gold.
Strangers
Unwelcome
(A blue star is placed in the window when a loved one goes to war. If they are missing in action (MIA), the star is changed to silver. If they are killed in action (KIA), it is changed to gold.)
