Another Normandy Day
Another Normandy Day
Of this very poem, I am the creator,
Even though it now may be much later,
Thinking about Normandy and what was done
Lucky and fortunate of them I was not one.
They came on shore boats landing on sand
Hopefully just like their leaders had planned
Yet, water would rush over their head
Which resulting in drowning and being dead.
What was it that determined their final fate?
Bodies had been bearing too much weight
Then their souls from them were set free:
Each one did start slowly drifting out to sea.
Later, I was at same place to see the scene;
Things look great now and are all green
And bunker leftovers are only there now
Was truly a miracle they survived somehow.
Now that their souls are with God and close
Here is what I would like and want to propose
No matter how hard we may hunt and hunt
Peace and quite is what we all really want.
