POEM - Remember our brave

Remember our brave

Remember those who fought for us
So many years ago
They fought for our liberty
So we didn’t need to anymore

They fought in all the seasons
Their clothes were sometimes drenched
Rut they missed their loving families
As they fought in their trench

The battlefield was full of bodies
Of the men all killed at war
It was a high price to pay with lives
So we need not fight no more

So many didn’t return home
For us they gave their lives
They did not see their new families
Newborn children or their wives

So on the next Armistice day
Think of the Brave still lost
For those we still can pray
For their life was the cost
