Just A Lad
by
Win Rainer
(Wife of a Fepow)
No one can tell how a captured young lad in war feel
At the time such dreadful things his life seal
What of his courage and how to survive
A way that would allow him to stay alive
The brutality and starvation and a 12-hour day
This was his agony and no hope lay
This was his life not knowing how long
But his ability to survive was strong
This man who over many years have survived and grown old
Look into his eyes his agony still can be told.
