Following Your dreams!
When I was thirty-two, something happened that changed the way I thought forever. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 prostrate cancer. Unfortunately, after a year he lost his battle with the illness. He had only been 57 years old when he passed.

A MODERN WAR POEM
I once met a war veteran, aged 102 who had fought in both world war 1 and world war 2. Before meeting him, I had always glamourized the thought of war-probably through reading too many romantic war novels and regularly hearing all the nostalgic old war songs like Vera Lynn's,' we'll Meet Again' and Glenn Miller's 'Don't Sit Under the apple Tree. And there is no doubt that living through wars there was some fun times as well as bad. however looking into this mans eyes even without even mentioning the topic of war, I began to realise that fighting in battle was not fun or nostalgic but ugly, horrifying and tragic. Here is my poem in honour of the man I briefly met but will always remember.
