Falklands 82 Do You Remember When?
Before them ,
as far as the eye could see.
Autumn fields of gold!
Although only late in May,
It was in fact their winter.
The howling freezing wind ,
lay testament to that.
All saw the southern cross at night
And wondered at ,
the closeness of the stars.
The barrenness
of the landscape ,
Of why they'd come so far .
The lack of shrubs and trees,
and why they were at war.
But what many never saw ,
Were those lights in Stanley.
For along that long bloody trek,
We lost more than a few brave men.
Warriors all, true brothers, friends.
Casualties of an unnecessary war,
In The Falklands Islands......
...........way back when.
