Its really difficult to write
To write about someone you never ever knew
I am still seeing you there in that photo
Of course in black and white
Your eyes are blue I can tell that
All I have ever heard about you
Is that you fought in the War
Was brought back with injuries
Injuries to your lungs
Very badly scarred from the gas
Never able to work again
Apart from there being no pension
No pension it seems for one
Who ended up giving into that dreadful illness
No money for a funeral
Need I have to say anymore?
Amy had to work from dawn till dusk
It also made her very worn out
No proper food right up until in the ´50´s
I cannot wonder how it all must have been
But you were one of the soldiers
One of the soldiers that never got seen
However I am just seeing that photo again
You were one of the millions best ever been.
