Some poems to share

NO ROSES

There are no roses on sailors graves,
Nor wreaths upon the storm tossed waves,
No last post from the Royals band,
So far away from their native land,
No heartbroken words carved on stone,
Just shipmates bodies there alone,
The only tributes are the seagulls sweeps,
And the teardrop when a loved one weeps

I cant remember who it was written by but anyone wanting to share any others feel free.

One I wrote about a Canadian WW1 battle field not far from Iper. A tree was planted there for every body not found.
