All The Young Men
This reminiscence goes back to World War II
When America's young men were catapulted into
A time warp of war, insecurity, instability and fear.
We all were aware of the uncertainty of life. It would appear
Many of these men would lose their lives never to return. As I made
and painted pictures of those men, I had great concern for their
lives and the families they were leaving behind. I often wondered as
I viewed the picture, "Will this be the end of the line?
Will this picture be all that's left to console his family when war is over?"
I'd say a prayer for those involved and ask their guardian angel to hover
Over them through this time. To inspire, protect and comfort them.
And if it be God's will to bring them home safely and with life and limb.
