Remember Me

entry picture

Please Remember Me.

 

For those who sleep from battles lost

And paid, for us, the ultimate cost

 

For all who came back from war

Forever scarred by what they saw

 

The lucky ones, 

      so they say

They got to see 

       another day

 

But friends who fell

At the toll of death's bell 

Still haunt their dreams

Upon that field of screams

 

Where poppies now dwell

as a veil across hell

Where bones still lie

And the lost still cry:

 

Remember me, please!

Please, remember me!

 

I, in deepest earth

And, I, in deepest sea

 

Please, don't forget

Please remember me…

Thanks Stephen for giving my almost forgotten duty a kick up the rear end.

Bless 'em all!

as they always used to and no doubt still sing when raising a well respecting pint or twelve!

For those who saved this country-I salute you!
