100 Poem by Matthew Densley

100 wars fought side by side
100 shores where we collide
100 pawns and a hundred knights
100 grave's on a hundred sites

100 tours because you lied
100 sore's where skin has dried
100 days we have to strive
100 ways to stay alive

100 skies where birds will glide
100 eyes are open wide
100 levels, a hundred heights
100 shadows, a hundred lights

100 tries took in our stride
100 sighs for those who died
100 days to mourn the lost
100 ways to count the cost

100 cheers of joy and pride
100 fears for which to hide
100 battles, a hundred fights
100 days and a hundred nights

100 piers against the tide
100 tears for you I cried
100 days to wonder why
100 ways to say goodbye
