Oh great-grandpa, <br />gone in a flash, <br />Survived three wars, <br />always under attack. <br />Fought under pressure, <br />never did he crack. <br />Gone with the wind, <br />and not coming back. <br />'Old age', they said, <br />as I started to cry. <br />'Who's next? ' I wondered <br />'Who's next to die? '<br /><br />William Blake Beckett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-s-fragile-mind/
