To A Pilot.

Into the mist you flew away;
Into the mist - so cold and grey.
Then you soared to a higher plane
And my heart climbed out of the mist again.

You flew right into the setting sun,
Like a homing bird, when the day is done;
Up, and up, like a bird set free -
That's the way I remember thee.

"And tell them when you go home that for their tomorrow we gave our Today"
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
