Then On
THEN ON
To the end of their lives
these Soldiers fought,
to protect their loved ones
from the axis thoughts.
Past these very graves,
the trail leads on.
It guides their comrades
to the attack at dawn.
As each buddy passes by,
he stops, bows his head
and says a prayer..
Then on …to do his share.
Written by Rene F. Dufresne 1917-1998
Corporal in WW2
Circa 1943
This poem was recently found by my sister in an old trunk and was
written by our Father Rene F. Dufresne while serving in the
armed forces in the front lines During WW2. He always had a poetic
bent but never had the time to develop it.
God bless his soul
and may he rest in peace.
-Robert A. Dufresne.
