Struggles

Listen to the music

its notes calling-

they are soothing

since dad’s

gone and joined

an angelic choir-crew.

In WW 11 he was

an RCAF man challenging

the dragon of consumption

eager to devour

all freedom-loving

countries

and thought he escaped

the tragedy of war

when he came home

after four years-

but not forgotten.

memories still pierced

his soul.
