I was a young teenager during World War Two my two brothers were in the service, one in the Army, one in the Navy, both in the south Pacific. I wrote a number of poems at that time and I would like to enter them here now. THE LAND OF PEACE By Billie age 16 I rode today to the canyon In the west where skies are blue. I tramped in the hills of pinion Where the silver streems run through. I passed by fields of clover The hum of bees I heard. Saw a boy with his dog, Rover As free as the wild blue bird. The peace of this wonderful country Is more that I can explain. It's been going on for centuries Like the brush on the open plain. When war clouds gather across the sea And fire comes down like rain. We appreciate the peace we have Away from the suffer and pain. Our boys have gone to fight over there, In a land that is hard and cold. It is nice to live in a land so fair Where hearts are free and bold. Writen about 1943 |

That was some fine writing from a thoughtful teen experiencing WWII. It is still a fine thought in these times. |
