Brother Costs

My Uncle Angus Morrison was killed, same day as his brother Roderick (my father) was severely wounded, during WW2

Brother Costs

Dark day, Second World War -

Roddy and Angus hit that 'day'...

both boys fell, near on par;

injuries: terminal, one way!

Sadly, at that time of year:-

expired: our Angus t' name...

their parents could well 'tear';

Roddy fell ~ near-the-same.

Through legs, Dad’s mention:-

'Recovery', some came his way...

hospital, a year’s attention;

mobile again, one could say.

Closely bonded, brothers two;

one man ‘rests’ in Dunkirk soil...

Angus killed, Roddy shot too;

many fell thus: 'Dictation-foil'!

With such costs, all truly high;

fighting for freedom they went:-

many injured, with some to die;

for our sake, life was spent.

In good safety, can now love-live;

full-freedom now possessed ~

appreciation, which we can give:

Happiness, with No Duress!

Amen
