With no possible maps nor signs Higher than the Everest pinnacle Braving poverty damning thorns Against tidal waves of angst youth Congratulations, you have conquered World War II;                                                          There is not enough time for celebration-- You are the soldier Onto your next battle Depreciated in value                        Shunned for weakness Scorned as a burden All battles must end with a narrated full stop You did your best; you fought the good fight! Time is too short for anything-- may you read this letter in heaven.             P. S: Congratulations, It was almost a century since.

Almost A Century
With no possible maps nor signs Higher than the Everest pinnacle Braving poverty damning thorns Against tidal waves of angst youth Congratulations, you have conquered World War II;                                                          There is not enough time for celebration-- You are the soldier Onto your next battle Depreciated in value                        Shunned for weakness Scorned as a burden All battles must end with a narrated full stop You did your best; you fought the good fight! Time is too short for anything-- may you read this letter in heaven.             P. S: Congratulations, It was almost a century since.
An ode to grandmothers who are burdened with children in youth and loneliness in old age.
