(For remembrance Sunday)

I remember today - In Mournful sorrow

Dead Soldiers, their souls set free

The Poppy I wear, is all I have left

Of the Soldiers of old age

I remember them today

I see today, the swaying poppies,

A field of deathly silence

Gruelling battles they fought, only leaving a flower.

I feel inadequate, as those Soldiers fought for me.

I remember them today

I've heard of bravery, certainly, of course...

Those who do what they do for someone.

But not like them, they stood for us.

A great many thanks to them.

I remember them today

They deserve to rest in peace

This is their day

They were dedicated to saving us

Thanks to them.

I remember them today.
