poem by Kenneth Sutton (son)
Someday
Hush - hush, don't say his name
Time heals all pain
Hush - hush. It'll be okay
Someday
The sound of voice
The profile of face
Laughter and advice
Time will erase
Hush - hush, been a long while
Don't bring it up it'll hurt again
Hush - move on, move away
Nothing can change that day
Thirty years, I miss him still
Long to remember what I never will
Don't forget the man of men
Lost memories a long, long time ago
Smell his beret to know again
Hush - hush, the pain is here to stay
Shed tears this May day
Time never healed the pain I feel
Sgt James Kenneth Sutton is his name
Daddy
Will be with him again
Someday
