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.

Veterans Day Poem

If Liberty means anything to me,

I will remember what my freedom cost,

By those who gave their all to keep me free,

Whose lives were sacrificed, but never lost.

I will remind myself of what they did,

And keep them dearly cherished in my heart;

Their honor never from me shall be hid

And I will know they always did their part

To save our nation and its people here,

To pledge their lives in defense of our ways,

To show that freedom always outlives fear,

And sacrifice is hallowed all our days.

If Liberty means anything to me,

I will remember those who kept me free.
