Lest We Forget. Remembering all the brave Aussies that lost their lives fighting for our freedom, expecially my Dad, Jack who was in the Air Force.

Lest we forget the brave young men we lost including my uncle in Korea & my cousin who suffered terribly. Australians salute you.

Lest we forget....

Young Sons

A mother takes down a photo

And she holds it to her breast

Just has she’d done the child it shows

The little boy she’d washed and dressed.

She remembers how his hair felt

His soft scent still fills her nose.

And one again she curses,

the path her young son chose.

With boyish smile, and happiness

he’d picked the shilling and the gun

she remembered still the fear and dread

when he told her what he’d done.

Yet she’d smiled and waved him off

as only a loving mother could

If God was good, her smiling son

would return as young sons should.

But then fickle fate, it knows no God

it makes its judgments where it will

and IEDs they don’t discriminate

about who they should maim or kill.

So young sons often come home

fulfilling all their mothers fears

Not with happy smiles and laughter

but, draped in flags and mother’s tears.
