THE LAST POST

To Stephen Pray 28 February 2013

When we, young patriots, paraded proud
to serve our nations each in faith were sworn.
Subconsciously a soldier’s oath avowed
that brother will a fallen brother mourn.

As strangers sharing on the internet
poetic thoughts on verse and metric flow
A sea apart, although we never met,
your life was in your poems for me to know.

You’re gone now Steve, I’ll miss your cyber voice,
a man who walked life straight and standing tall;
A soldier and a gentleman whose choice
was always for the better good of all.

For bravery displayed in that last stand,
my friend, I you salute with open hand.


Respects and condolences to the family.
I am honoured to have known him.
