A Banner Poem by Joyce Hemsley

A Banner

Rating: 5.0


Life seems full of toil and trouble
Some people are never set free.
When tired and weary in old age
There is still no tranquility.

But if we should live into our eighties
Maybe in a Home somewhere
A younger spirit might toil to help us
Whilst we take rest in our rocking chair.

But who would know of our life's struggle
I wonder if others really care?
We should write our life story on a banner
And hold it high for the world to share.

We owe a great deal to the older generation, and i think that you're right Joyce, not enough of the younger generation care at all, that the life they live and the freedom they have is a direct result of their senior ancestry...
