Robert W Service - My SonRobert W Service - My Son
Work rating: Low


I must not let my boy Dick down,          Knight of the air. With wings of light he won renown          Then crashed somewhere. To fly to France from London town          I do not dare. Oh he was such a simple lad          Who loved the sky; A modern day Sir Galahad,          No need to die: Earthbound he might have been so glad,          Yet chose to fly. I ask from where his courage stemmed?          I`ve never flown; Air-travel I have oft condemned,—          Now I`m alone, Yet somehow hold the bright belief          God gave his brief. So now I must live up to him          Who won on high A lustre time will never dim;          Though coward I, Let me revere till life be done          My hero son.
