Remembrance

REMEMBRANCE

In fields of red

Where poppies grow

Where those who fell

Lay row on row

Who took their pledge

To save our nation

Let us now stand

In salutation

Where our heroes lay

Their lives cut short

Our freedom gained

From those who fought

Who left behind

Their jobs, their wives

Who paid the price

And lost their lives

Let’s give our silence

Our time to recall

Give thanks for those

Who gave their all

Where crosses stand

To mark their place

Let them be remembered

With honour and grace.

Soldiers of War

Fight the good fight,

Win or lose for a good cause,

The loss of life stays on their minds,

For home and heath they fought,

They fight their cause,

Women and children weep,

The soldier carries the unheard tear,

of things seen and not said,

Remember, remember, my friends in arms,

They died for you all to live this day.

A SOLDIER OF WAR

We are fighting a war and together we stand,

But I’m still on my own, just a lonely man,

Torn away from what was my life,

My friends and family, my home and my wife,

Down in the trenches day after day,

Any thoughts of myself slowly slipping away,

There’s so much destruction, so much blood shed,

The sounds of the planes that fly overhead,

Machine guns fire, round after round,

Bombs that boom and crash to the ground,

Comrades are lost, I watch them die,

But there’s no time to grieve and no time to cry,

I hear them coming, the enemy is near,

I search for the courage and banish my fear,

Thoughts of my own death go through my mind,

The life that I had and have now left behind,

But I must carry on and do what is right,

For the country I love, I will stand and fight,

Then when this is over, and my nation is free,

I’ll take time to remember the man that was me.
