He seems more like a boy each day."


Christmas, 1918

They give their all, this Christmastide, that peace on earth shall reign;

Upon the snows of Flanders now, brave blood has left its stain;

With ribbons red we deck our gifts; theirs bear the red of pain.

They give their lives that joy shall live and little children play;

They pass that all that makes for peace shall not be swept away;

They die that children yet unborn shall have their Christmas Day.

Come! deck the home with holly wreaths and make this Christmas glow,
