D-Day Landing

Splish splash through the open sea

To the beaches of Normandy

The soldiers fill the Higgins boats

Low in the water everything floats

In the boat, the water like an oil slick

Hard to stand, makes you sea sick

Clear the raft, thirty seconds

Closer and closer the beach beckons

The whistle blows

Everyone knows

This is a place the Germans dwell

They are entering a new hell

The doors drop, through the water they tread

If they don't move they will be dead

Relying on sheer luck

behind the traps they duck

Now they run across the sands

As they cock their garands

Nows their time to take a stand

Like brothers, together they band

Forward they advance towards the German lines

Avoiding tank traps, barbed wire, and mines

Taking cover behind the low sea wall

"We need to get off the beach," the officers call

Bangalores they will have to use

Stand back as they light the fuse

Past the sea wall every soldier runs

Now to take out the German guns

The flamethrowers, they fire away

Burning the bunkers that tortured all day

"Tell the generals!" A soldiers beseech

"For we have Successfully taken the beach!"
