Stephen Pennell Poet Quatrain

Listen to poem:

Love Without Hope

Trenches filled with a nations youth and homes with broken dreams 
No golden years are guaranteed when the queen  calls your name
No wedding days and two up two downs and gardens neat and  clean
Just stolen lives an empty chair and a letter from the queen
