For Ever Aint Never That Far Away

Neville

For Ever Aint Never That Far Away

 

Prior to going over the top, this is what our

sergeant major said, just before the

old sod copped one ..

 

Chin up, chest out, and shoulders back son

put your best foot forward and walk

don’t run, good men ..

 

Just remember, that here, now and forever are

not far away, so just do the best

that you can ..

              a thread of fate, separating
              between, those
              being born in a war zone
              and those
              being born in peaceful, moments..
              Personally, I think the latter
              is the crueller, fate
              as we get to glimpse, a perhaps
              of peace
              that can never be sustained..
              so from the beginning
              of humanity's, fantastic Tales
              and Cain and Abel's
              inability to cohabitate, war
              has ever
              and I fear, will ever
              exist, to remind us:
              'that here, now and forever
              are not far away,'
              So we too, go-on
              celebrating those heroes
              who gifted us, a chance
              and doing our Best
              then simply let, Fate
              judge the rest...
              (just a such a poignant read
              when you think
              that so many, are living this reality
              in the now, we lucky few
              take for granted...)
              Brilliant!
              dear Poet, supreme
              thank you!
