You were straight tall n fiery as hellThe atrocities of war you hid not too well.It wasnt easy for me to understand your painOnly in death you becamemy "Dad" again.Forgive me my Dad - I miss you so much.I never knew war - its horrors such.If I did, then maybe I'd have given you moreHealing time to anoint your deep scars of war. Tino nui aroha xx
