Crossing the English channel

Seemed to go so fast.

Can't remember landing,

Everything erased.

Move,  just keep moving,

Was the order of the day.

Thoughts evaporated,

As we fought our way.

Not much resistance,

Seems they all fell back.

Nobody complained,

Just one of our guys dead.

Months seemed like days,

In a memory that recalls.

Anticipation was the enemy-

Waiting just waiting, for an order

That never came.
