My Grandpa’s Photo
I’ve never seen my daddy’s Pa.
Because when I was born,
He’d gone already very far –
I mean, he died at War.
That nasty War, that bloody War -
It burst at don in June.
Nor proper arms, nor freedom, nor
Hope it will finish soon!
A shabby photo is kept
By Granny on the wall-
The sign of love and joy - except
The sign of coming War.
Grandpa is an attractive lad,
Young, smart and very brave.
Beside - his wife and son, my Dad,
They prayed, “Let God him save!”
God didn’t save him, just as well
He didn’t save the ones
Who marched and fell, got up and fell –
A lot have died – alas!
Let people keep in hearts forever
The ones who got the win,
Let pay our debts and never - NEVER!-
Let nasty wars be seen!
