Today is D-Day, once a date
Evocative
of war
When
Allied troops invaded France
In
1944.
By
land and sea and air, the soldiers
Stormed
the Nazis’ hold
In
Normandy, an operation
Sneaky,
smart and bold.
Commemorated
in the past,
Historically
germane,
To
younger folk, its meaning
Would
need someone to explain.
As
years go by, the stories fade
And
though they might be taught,
We
cannot bring to relevance
The
wars and battles fought.
