Vale Jim Beaumont

Each day you lived was a task No ending just a sorrow to the last You made a home for your family With wife Nancy daughters Jane Arnna and son Grant so happily But a monster intervened to destroy them To take the Beaumont children and a parents peace did end Your Nancy died and left you alone To live your final years with no peace known So finally you left this earth at 97 years As this sad story ends in your final tears What happened on that summers day on 26 January 66 Leaves us to wonder what happened about murderers tricks Rest in Peace Jim Beaumont WW2 ANZAC soldier and father to the end. © Paul Warren Poetry
