Through leafy glades we walked together
In the dappled shade
beneath the trees, where
Spots of light chase
each other frantically
As the soft summer
breeze moves the canopy
And the patterns
change on the forest floor
In some places shafts
of golden sunlight
Burst through the
canopy, like sunbeams
Sent down from God,
lighting the darkness
In the sunnier spots
the blue bells dance
As if to entertain the
weary travellers
While the path leads
us upwards into the light
Each step taking us to
ever lighter skies
Until we finally
emerge atop a green hill
And we look out across
the land, England,
And knew what we had
fought and died for
To save this land from
the spoils of war
