In 1941

My Great-Grandfather
1941
flying a warplane in the mid-day sun
with his children at home
and hope in his mind
he swore that one day people would be kind
the Berlin Airlift
a mighty task
but to him, this wasn’t a very big ask
and on his way back
the train rattled on the track
but he didn’t want to be a bother
