Life is; carrying courageously the flowing banner of combat, Through good and evil days, Though torn and splashed and often all but lost.

There’s many a stumble and wounds Are numerous, deep and painful, But no able man engaged in struggle Takes flight, even should death threaten. Life is: no peace here, No begging for an armistice. Life is: carrying the banner of combat Until laid in God’s own hands. lnserted by his loved ones, Schoolhouse, Fortrose, June and Winnie, Invercargill.
