Deluge of Soldiers At Normandy
There seemed to be so much suspense
And Normandy did make the difference
Many soldiers had all been on edge
As they looked up at a high ledge.
Hitler was with a deluded dream
Of being best and reigning supreme
As water reached each soldier's waste
Approaching shore as they made haste.
Soldiers' bodies became soaking wet
And as closer to shore they would get
Were filled with fear and did tremble
Saw American Flag such a great symbol.
So many great soldiers were to be selected
Much from them had been expected
On broad beach all eventually landed
By a leader each one was commanded.
Finally it was now over and done
Could see setting of another sun
They had always been very brave
And many had ended up in a grave.
