This is a Remembrance Day poem written by my grandaughter, Dawn Mills of Botwood, in 2007, when she was 14 years old.
 
One.
 
 
One after another,
One more phone call,
One more letter,
One more too many.
 
Me for you,
My life for your freedom,
Scared for you,
Not for me.
 
One by one,
One more shot,
One more explosion,
One more too many.
 
Family after family,
Child after child,
Question after question,
Tear after tear.
 
One more someone’s father…
One more someone’s mother…
One more someone’s child…
One more too many.
 
Innocence turned guilty,
Pride to pain,
Assurance to doubt,
Life to death.
 
One more day spent fighting,
One more month…
One more year…
One more too many.
 
One…
 
        One…
 
                One…
 
                        One…............
