bomber crew 1944 Euston , steam twists and curls Lovers close: now part Young boys ,even younger girls Parting ; each takes a broken heart Shouts , whistles, flags wave Doors slamming:gun shots to the brain Her face tense,white ,trying to be brave His face, tense ,never seen again In the cemetary fields lying Rank on rank,row on row The ever dead and forever dying Suffering shared by friend and foe How can they rest? Since it was all in vain They gave there very best For what? Here lies there pain arthur |

*sigh* this was such a clear vision to me. I was raised in the military and once married into it as well. This poem touched the very soul of me. My heart felt the pain and loss. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Arthur, you paint a very true and painful picture of war....it could have been any war. Well done, Nancy. Hugs across the pond. ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |
