Black Swan
Healing light
Registrant
You flew through the air twisting and turning
Adrenaline pumping
"Just did what we had to do"
It was world war two
You were humble
Didn't claim to be special
Said we'd all do the same
In the name
Of freedom
But to many a hero you'd become
I'd like to take a minute to pause
53 lives lost to the cause
You came home and decided to teach.
Did the odd speach
I remember after one
You told my son
"we can all be brave,
If something gave
Us reason to be."
Stating "There's nothing special about me"
I was humbled to meet you
One of the dambusters crew
But more than that a man who survived
A man who thrived
Despite all life threw your way
Until just after your 101st birthday
For someone like me
Who wouldn't even be
You was an inspiration
And in times of desperation
I will remember what you said
The life that you led
You were the last one
Black Swan
Over and out
I wrote this as a tribute to
George Leonard Johnson (Johnny)
MBE
SQ617
(Apres moi le deluge")
25.11.1921 - 7.12.2022
I want to share it here because he inspired me in my healing journey.
He was open about the CA that he experienced before joining the Raf age 18
It reminds me it's not where I came from that matters it's where I land up
.
Is/was there anyone who inspired you?
Peace HL
