Always And Forever - Gothic Love Poetry
Defending The Realm The soldier raises his gun one last time The Nazis are on the march He is out numbered but he refuses to yield They are fighting in the streets He is situated at the corner of a building He shoots at the enemy He takes out three German soldiers But another seven remain One of the German soldiers and takes aim And kills the brave British soldier He falls to his knees And then keels over He breathes his last breath The war continues but the soldier has done his job He resisted the evil tyrants Back home his wife and child wait for news of their husband and father Some days later a letter arrives in the post The wife opens the letter with tears in here eyes She know by the envelope that the news is bad As she reads the letter she sobs uncontrollably Many years on the wife is in France to visit her husband's grave Her grown up son accompanies her They stand by the graveside and read the inscription "A beloved husband and father Who died to save our freedom" They lay down some flowers and utter some silent prayers As they walk away her son speaks to his mothers "Some things are worth dying for whatever the price" "To live in freedom rather then under tyranny is the greatest gift of all" "Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for things we believe in" The son later married and had three children And they lived comfortably and at peace All thanks to their father and grandfather Who will always be remembered for his bravery and courage.
