Flanders Fallen

A Poem by Ewen A Morrison

Memorial poem, regarding family within the 51st Highland Division, WW2

FLANDERS FALLEN

Life of love, love of land -

upholding and defending...

In such way we understand:

freedom, peace, extending.

People's, 'free-Lands' survive...

bear shield, wield the sword;

methods defensively contrive,

liberate - march freely forward.

Such virtues ‘n’ values set path:

shall fight for peace, all times...

reclaim peace, as all free 'hath';

now ringing peaceful chimes!

Case was frantic, now at rest...

'earth - family' squabbled hard:

ah now, can it stand the test?

In relief - trolling onward!

Amen

E.A.M.
