Grandpa came home from war so different, he survived but was full of grief, his heart wept of lament for his comrades; And if his eyes could speak they would tell us, of all the courage and the deaths, but his stories were buried deep within; And on Remembrance Day . . . he would salute proudly weeping. __________________________ November 10, 2019 Poetry/Elegy/Granpa Went to War Copyright Protected, ID 19-1195-341-02 All Rights Reserved.

TS, thanks for visiting, so true, I watched the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa today on TV and the tears in the eyes of the Canadian Vet's said it all !
