My D-day Landing

By Liam, St Mary's School, Overton, Wrexham.

The hellish shells flying here and there,
My clothes were ragged they had a tear.
The landing craft was cramped and rusty,
My equipment was wet dirty and dusty.

We jumped off the boat feeling hungry and ill,
Although I was feeling this I had to kill.
The Germans attacked with all their force,
They showed no mercy, no remorse.

I jumped in a trench once on the beach,
I knew where to go what to reach.
With rifle in hand I ran for my life,
D-day was horror a chaotic strife.

I felt so soulless like a killing machine,
Bullets so fast they could hardly be seen.
We advanced from D-day away from battle,
Next through a meadow here lay cattle.

We took some villages and took 'em quick,
I fought and killed yet still felt sick.
My back was aching my feet were sore,
This was my life during the war.

And when he gets to Heaven's gate,
To St Peter he will tell,
One more soldier-reporting sir,
I've served my time in hell.
