Brother's Costs

Dark day, of second World War,

both boys fell, and near on 'par' -

Roddy and Angus hit that day;

injuries, and terminal, one way!

Through legs, Dad's mention,

hospital, a year's detention;

some recovery came his way:

mobile again, one could say!

Closely bound, brothers two;

Angus killed, Roddy shot too -

one man 'rests' in Dunkirk soil;

many fell - Dictation to foil!

With such costs, and truly high;

many injured, with some to die,

fighting for freedom they went -

for our sakes, life was spent!

In good safety, now love-live,

best appreciation, we can give;

with full freedom: possess -

Happiness, with No Duress!

Amen
