Give A Thought Poem by Andrew Wright

Give A Thought



Have you ever wondered what they think,
In Blighty day by day,
Have you ever wondered if they say a prayer,
For you while you are away,
Let me reassure you lads,
They give us all a thought,
To those who have not yet returned,
Who went away and fought.

Do you ever give a thought to them,
Amidst their strife and cares,
Do you also think to say each night,
Just one or two small prayers.
You'll find that life goes better, lads,
When everything seems blue,
If you give a thought, to those who wait,
So patiently for you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Andrew Wright was a Prisoner of War, captured at Dunkirk. This poem is taken from a notebook he kept while in the POW camps. It is difficult to believe that the writers of all of these poems were men who had in the main left school at the age of 14. Where he attributes the poem to an individual I have included that attribution. Andrew Wright died in 1987. These poems were uploaded by his son.
