As someone who detests war, I relate to Survivors. If you have a moment read my poem Pauper's Grave. I knew the man I wrote about. To know him was to love him.

Gillian, this last stanza seems too abrupt and needs a bridge between the touching farewell scene and the ending. The first part tugs at our hearts. Raynette
