A lonely soldier
poem by:
Stephen Westerland
Written

Standing in trenches Living in fear every day Missing those closest Thousands of miles away Fighting for freedom With death all around A soldier sits weary With his best mate Motionless on the ground Battles were fought In the rain and the cold Disease and depression For the young and the old They fought for our freedom Women children and men So in all that we do We will remember them ©Stephen.R.Westerland

This is a well written poem Stephen.
Many died.I often wonder how the survivors must have felt after the war.
A mixture of joy and sorrow I would imagine.
