Our H.D.

Our H.D.

A Poem by Ewen A Morrison
"

Dedicated to Ewen's father Roddy, and uncle Angus who were both casualties on the same day, during WW2; his father has seriously wounded and his uncle, Angus was killed.

"

Since our freedom was won, 

You are now beside us all ~

Through battling had gone, 

From sunrise unto nightfall! 


On same day, brothers hit, 

From combating t' casualty, 

Father/Uncle, then to "flit": 

Paid costs--- us to be free! 


Roderick survived, of two...

Highlander's bold brethren, 

Angus died then... others too; 

Humanity safe: there & when? 


Tomorrows will come to pass...

Yesterdays are receding - yet, 

Worldwide lotteries are... alas,

For day by day is what you get!
