Remembrance

We remember the fallen,

We remember the dead.
We remember the young ones
Whose life blood was shed.
We remember their sacrifice,
We remember their pain;
We remember the promise
Of “Never again!”

 

We remember our veterans,
We remember their loss.
We remember their valor
And what it has cost.
We remember the poppies
And see all the crosses.
We remember in silence,
The toll of war’s losses.

Silence

We will cherish our freedom,

We will cherish our lives.
We will honor the memory
Of their sacrifice.
We remember the fallen,
Whose life blood was shed.
Each sunset and sunrise,
We will honor the dead.
