Anzac Day Remembrance <3

[Venus]

Anzac Day means alot to me especially when it concerns my grandfather and the pain and heartache he went thru during that time. He will always be missed but never forgotten <3



The blazing heat rising from gunfire
Emotions stretched trying to inspire
Drawing strength from delivered letters of home
Hoping and wishing never to leave them all alone

Young men drafted age illegal yet not seen
Are they forgettable I couldn’t be so mean
Trapped and isolated in the ravages of war
Stop the heartless killing of us all

The wives and children left behind waiting
Running to check the mail in anticipation
Needing to know if loved ones survived
Knowing that neighbor’s heartbreaking cry

So with Anzac day drawing near
We remember the ones we held so dear
My grandfather Who I loved so much
Thinking about him and his gentle touch

The end was hard for us all to bear
His mind echoed with voices we can’t hear
The harrowing hours trembling hiding from bombers
Not knowing if the day is to be his last
Darkness is reaching out to him so fast

And so these words of remembrance
And my privilege of having meet
My Grandfather George Wiley

Lest We Forget
