The Sergeant Was My Daddy
|
| |
IT WAS IN THE EARLY FORTES,
WHEN HIS CALL TO SERVE CAME IN,
AND HE PROUDLY DID HIS DUTY,
NOT KNOWING HOW IT ALL WOULD END.
THEY SENT HIM OFF TO ENGLAND.
TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY DEAR,
THEY DROPPED THEIR BOMBS ON GERMANY,
FOR MORE THAN JUST A YEAR.
AND THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED,
AN ENGINE TOOK A ROUND,
AND BEFORE YOU KNEW WHAT HAPPENED,
THEIR PLANE SLAMMED INTO THE GROUND.
THE PLANE WENT DOWN IN GERMANY,
A HOSTILE LAND, INDEED,
THE CREW WENT IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
HOPING SOME MIGHT JUST SUCCEED.
THE SERGEANT AND A BUDDY,
MOVED AT NIGHT AND PLAYED IT WISE
BUT THE REST OF THE CREW WAS CAPTURED
AND TO THE GERMANS, QUITE A PRIZE.
THE TWO GOT WITH THE UNDERGROUND,
AND MADE RAIDS ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT,
UNTIL THE ALLIED FORCES,
CAME IN AND MADE IT RIGHT.
THE STORY THAT I'VE WRITTEN,
IS MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE IT'S TRUE,
YOU SEE THE SERGEANT WAS MY DADDY,
AND THE WAR WAS WORLD WAR TWO.
WRITTEN IN HONOR OF ALL VETERANS AND ESPECIALLY TO MY DAD, STAFF SERGEANT ES DUNBAR. BY DANNY DUNBAR
