Dame Vera (a belated birthday greeting)
Happy birthday, Dame Vera Lynn;
Who wouldn’t be cheered by your smile?
As troubled times once more begin,
Amidst uncertainty and trial,
I, upon observing your face
Discern an optimistic place
That my ancestors left behind,
Residing somewhere in my mind.
This patriotic mystery
(Though patriot I’ve hardly been),
Brings, as we face COVID 19,
A certain sense of history,
And I, in mind of your refrain,
Can’t help but sing We’ll Meet Again.
