A Tribute to the Brave

Frozen tears of the Dark Woods
by Isaiah Robinson

50 men entered the dark woods
50 men understood
The 50 men, they saw in their eyes
Those 50 men wouldn't survive
But 50 men young and brave
Knew not of the end that would happen that day
But still they traveled in the dark woods.

50 men entered the dark woods
40 men still understood
Those 50 men they saw in their eyes
10 of them didn't survive
That journey into the dark woods
But still the 40 men
Knew all 40 wouldn't reach the end
But still they traveled into the dark woods

50 men entered the dark woods
Only 20 men still stood
Those 50 men they saw in their eyes
30 of them had already died
They journey brought pain and sorrow
And fear of not seeing tomorrow
But they continued those 20 men
Into the dark woods.

50 men entered the dark woods
1 man still stood
At the end of those dark woods
Frozen tears filled his eyes
Of the 49 men who didn't survive
The journey into the dark woods.
