A Sonnet Of My Life 1919 - 1998; A Story Of My Grandfather, The War Hero. Poem by Michael Thygesen

I wonder, 'Have I lived well? ' As they call?
I asked myself on a brisk, early morn
I have no famous name to show to all,
My love has been lost; you may see me mourn.

But I found another to love and share,
As I wait above she finally came.
I have flown like an eagle in the air,
All these skies and heavens cannot be tamed.

Many of my crew-mates owe me their life,
Yet I will stay strait, I ask for no praise.
I have always loved all of wildlife,
Saved two men from a plane that was ablaze

Yes, I've lived to see beautiful years,
I couldn't without love, laughter, and tears.
