Brian Strand Poet Bio

Never To Return

He went to be a soldier
That cold and wintry Spring,
Dying for the noble cause,he believed in;
The lilac was just budding
When news of him was sent,
Her last letter returned' killed  in aciton'
Described ,the honeymoon they spent;
Just a short time only, she weeped and cried
For Gran felt my mother kicking
That April Granpa died.
