Hi guys, sorry its been so long with the reply. Last time I checked, there were no reply's.

Thanks so much for the comments and suggestions, don't apologise it's exactly what I wanted. I've written a basic tune to it and I'm gonna get around to recording it soon, I will put an mp3 up. You picked up on the chorus, yeah it's not great, it's only filler so it's scrapped. The names has to be changed too. I originally had his writing to his mother in the chorus, I may do without one as suggested. Inspired by the writings of Eric Bogle.

Thanks again, gentlemen. Really appreciated.
