We had this request posted to page, I had to copy the whole message as it puts so much heart into the meaning, wrote by a dad for his son and read out on tv on remembrance Sunday, great courage and so much respect ~ Gill xx hello, my name is Owen Moffett, my brother was a soldier and was killed on may the 30th 2009 in Afghanistan. at the time my father wrote a poem for him and it was read out on TV by my father on remembrance Sunday of that year. i was wondering would you post it on your page for me? this is the poem: There is in the eternal realms A great line of men Who march along a long winding road Their task is to collect the dead of ages Taken from the ranks of the fallen After midnight on the 30th May 2009 The great line halts And a sergeant majors voice rings out Not as on the parade ground But in the solemn silence increased The short command is given ‘Get fell in to the rear of the column’ 2 soldiers take their place Adjust their equipment And calm their troubled expressions These fallen 2 shoulder arms And the great line of men The dead of ages Taken from the ranks of the fallen Moves off at a slow march Winding its way along the long winding road Almost out of sight The line visibly halts And a sergeant major’s voice rings out ‘Get fell in to the rear of the column’ And we who mortals be Strain to hear the sound of their marching feet Nigel Moffett Snr
