Entwined in Years by War

by

Reg Rainer

Poems by Win Rainer

Compiled by Ron Taylor

Our years entwined in years of war

Never to realise, what was in store

Years of torment, not knowing, cast

A shadow of dreadful times past,

To be able to understand was our aim

To protect and support their pain,

Memories of those years will never fade

But our determination with love we made

With gentle thought, of those who returned

Each day, something new to be learned,

Of all our years, undaunted, we were there

We survived with them through love and care.

Gone are the days of battle and guns now silently lay

Your thoughts go back to yesterday

So hold your heads up high my lads

For everyone to see

How you sacrificed your young years

To keep this country free.

Thro’ misty eyes you see those years

And no one will ever understand

Your mates who didn’t return with you

Lay in a distant, far away land

They live forever in your hearts

Not just, for a single day.
