What do I say?

    What do I say,
In a coffin,
your loved one lay,
     what do I say?
 
     Can I comfort?
Can I make the grief go away?
From a young age I was taught,
death, is bad,
death,  is sad.
I wonder now if it is?
    Can I comfort?

    Can I stop your silent tears?
With the words I have to say.
Maybe just maybe,
death isn't so bad,
it's not a price you have to pay...
 Death to me is a new life,
a new life with past friends and a song to sing.
 To some death is welcome,
hoped for, like a christmas present.
 You should be glad,
glad your loved one,
held on.
 Glad they had ...
a nice, a great a wonderful life,
holding on till the end,
not wanting to say goodbye.
    Can I stop your silent tears?

     Can I make you smile?
 I will not give you pity,
pity, is no help.
 I will give you a friend...
I will give you confidence.
I will lend you money,
if you need it.
I will make your life sunny,
again, like it was before.
 I will not pity you,
I will be your friend,
the most important thing you need.
     I can make you smile,
     and I will...
     That's a promise,
     I'll never break!

Why did Wilf Smith join the army? (ww1)

Wilf Smith joined the army,

there was many reasons why.

He saw the world pasing him by,

full of hate,
full of lies.

He saw the poster,

that promised peace.

"This may be my chance, my chance...

to help win the war."

His family was not rich and the pay,

was ok, with a shilling a day, if

you compare it to what he got now:

3 shillings a week.

He did not want his girl, agnes, to give him
a white feather.
The feather is cowardly,
The feather is seen and people stare
with disguist and dispair.
The feather means he cares not for his country.

Wilf Smith joined the army,
there was many reasons why.

Other men too,

joined in a rush like a sunami,

a sunami full of what the posters called "Noble men".

The men in the army are considered noble,

those who join for the right reason were,

those who joined for the wrong were ignoble.

Wilf Smith joined the army,

there was many reasons why...

Do you think he was noble,

to join, fight and die???
