Our Girl

Have been watching this BBC series on You Tube. Quite good, must say, it's lovely.

Captain James read a poem at the funeral for "Smurf". Want to share it with you. A soldiers poem, beautiful, poignant.


Every morning when I wake, Dear Lord, a little prayer I make, O please do keep Thy lovely eye On all poor creatures born to die And every evening at sun-down I ask a blessing on the town, For whether we last the night or no I’m sure is always touch-and-go. We are not wholly bad or good Who live our lives under Milk Wood, And Thou, I know, wilt be the first To see our best side, not our worst. O let us see another day!
