Exceptional With honour and respect always Your life, your all by Wendy G In Their Memory writing prompt entry

I’ve never seen your face Never held your hand You died before my birth In a land of burning sand . He loved you above all other For you were my father’s twin Identical, and inseparable As one, through thick and thin . He cradled you within his arms As you took your final breath He wept at your body broken, torn Another victim of evil Death . So no, I never felt your touch, Never heard your cheerful voice I weep for one I never knew Loyal service was your choice . Your life you gave so willingly I honour you, so young, so strong Respect and love from family … To Uncle Bert – my tribute song. Writing Prompt Write a poem, any type, about the members of the military present and past. Author Notes My Uncle Bert, much loved twin brother of my father, was killed on June 4 1941, aged 28 years, in Tobruk, Libya.
