Been over the Atlantic and Pacific,

Only one was for pleasure.

Each has its memories

That I shall always treasure.

 

More than once I almost

Didn't make it. A sniper

Missed his mark,

But I didn't.

 

Can't brag about war,

It has too many horrors.

Your just lucky if you survive,

Ask any combat vet.

My father told me enough about war (he was a prisoner in Germany in WWII) that makes me fortunate never having had to face it. For that I am grateful. Thank you for sharing, George. Love and blessings,

Regis
