225 SENIOR POEM, SECOND PLACE Continued: Karina Benson I wish the world had been kinder, And not taken from you a life so pure. But while I, too, mourn their loss and courageous sacri昀ce, I thank you, mothers, for the strength it took to let them go and 昀ght Because I don't think, if I were you, that I could do the same, And thanks to you, brave mothers of war, Canada may sleep peacefully tonight.
