Written for Remembrance Day 2024
May poppies grow, row on row, for all of those who faced the foe.
I heard the news that you’d arrived
My heart was full, many tears I cried
I vision you in your mother’s arms
Peaceful in her motherly charms.
It’s hard to be miles across the sea
When home is where I wish to be
I will carry you in heart to the day
War ends and I am home to stay.
If I never get to meet you, my son
It was for you I fought on and on
I did my best but didn’t see
War could be the end of me.
Lying here in a hospital bed
Slowly I feel my life on earth ebb
I ask God above one request
Let us meet before I’m laid to rest.
