THE LADIES BRUNCH

Resurrection Reunion 2, 1945, Sir Stanley Spencer

For days, weeks, months
Sometimes years long,
We’re far away from our men folk,
All alone...
They’ve gone distance to earn
Through trade or fight battles,
Save our country, dignity, or,
Bring prosperity diligence...
We have meanwhile,
Formed our own comfort groups,
Wife and widows of those traders
And brave soldiers...
While we await them
With longing patience
Or lost hope,
We too at times indulge
In our ladies brunch...
Cos’ all is not the time
To brood and worry,
Sometimes, its okay
To let our hair down,
Make merry.
