D DAY - Normandy 1944

They are the empty places
-
They are the ragged bundles on the shore
-
Emptied of their love and all they saw
-
Converted into memories
-
Instantly
-
Not wanting to yet went
-
That was brave
-
No Game
-
No masquerade
-
They did not come home
-
So while there lives a memory
-
While there is an empty place
-
An unforgotten face
-
Leave them their dignity
-
Those who died
-
Seriously
-
Normandy
-
1944
