Very Moving Poem.. He really put his heart on his sleve. He has found the words to describe the Australia I love… Thanks for sharing Kevins lovely thoughts.

Hi Bob. I just passed on your question to Grandpa. This is his one and only poem, written because he felt the inspiration/need to write it in that time and place… for the therapeutic value of writing, perhaps? I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!

It’s a pretty good poem.

Thanks to Kevin and Shanrah.

I wonder if he has any more poems tucked away, not neccessarily war related?
