Was his voluntary
And special care
He tended it
Brushed it
Polished it
He joked and laughed
With everyone
Drilled and inspected

With his mind
Forever fixed
...on the going down of the sun
And in the morning
In memory of the late Henry Richardson
DENIS GRIFFITHS

Pic cap: Denis Griffiths, poet and Japanese POW, a polish hero, unknown, and the late Henry Richardson.
