Poetry of Remembrance : Marina Scott

Marina Scott of Whittington Vic has sent along a number of poems as her contribution to our wonderful little project.  I will post all of the poems in the dedication section of the blog for you to view.  Thank you Marina for sharing your wonderful poetry with our group.  Poignant and heartfelt …

Peace Has Come

peace has come

where there was strife,

where there was death,

the land has life.

there was a war,

and now there’s peace.

peace has come

to those who lie

in foreign graves

or where they die,

there was a war

and now there’s peace.

peace has come

to those who marched,

and peace has come

to those who watched

them off to war,

yes, now there’s peace.

and when there’s peace

for shattered mind

that cannot leave

the past behind,

then for all pain,

there shall be peace.

then strife shall be

a memory,

and we can say

on Anzac day,

there once was war,

and now there’s peace
