"Have you seen the way he looks at you, the way his expression softens and his eyes are like stars...?" - Ara Weston


Off in
Another country
To save a people
He never met
Went a man
Who was brave and gallant
And never gave up
So when
He went home
He expected to see
Banners
And signs of love.
But since
He fought
In a forgotten war
His deeds
Were forgotten
Like the war
He fought in.

For my grandfather, who fought in the Korean War.
