Zora Howard - Mama

[ajf098]

This poem is powerful!!! Thank you to all of the troops who give their lives everyday to protect our dreams. My heart breaks for all the mamma's who have lost their babies in this senseless war. Please Pray for our Troops.

Side note: If you love this poem, watch Alysia Harris and Joshua Bennett's "Wings 2"
