Autoplay

There is a promise of peace in the future,
And a prayer that the Kreig will soon end,
There is a conviction that all war is senseless,
And a hope that our feelings will mend.
That after the "Blitzes" are over,
And the Battle of the Atlantic is done,
That all nations concerned will determine,
A long reign of peace will run.

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.
