Poetry from the Newspaper #2.

A Canadian veteran of World War One
He was 34 when he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force,
Halfway through the year second year of World War Two,
Winning didnt look like a sure thing for the allies.
From here we sit,
history always looks inevitable.
Men who served along my father,
will go down to a few dozen.
My brother remembers his medals showing up in the mail on a saturday,
almost a decade after the war had ended,
He never really thought he'd risked his life.
