something I sense tells me
my life-source is very low.
Someone comes and whispers low
I cannot tell who though
for loss of consciousness
is upon my life now.
Help me to remember
those with whom I have known and fought
men of valour, courage –
beyond a man’s normal everyday thought.
Give me the courage too
as I do pass over this world
one more breath before I die
to say a big thank you
to those few
for giving me love and care.
And too a life here on Earth
to get to know some part
that I previously, in the normality of life,
did not, about myself, did know.
