THE BATTLE
I thank you God
for taking me fast,
a tremendous blow
but pain that did not last
I walked side my brothers
through all the day....
With tears Lord, so many
died along the way
Bayoneted rifles, thrust
in the ground,
With helmets on top,
all around
The fight is over,
the battle won....
So many mothers
have lost a son
....Dave D'Arche January 2000
