Remembrance Day - November 11


Remembrance Everyday
by Mrs Newsham

 

The white gravestones lie
Row after row
Of those who fought
And died in war

Some have names
Others not
But the sacrifice
Won’t be forgot

They gave their lives
So we could be
Free from war
For eternity

But war rages on
In lands far and near
Tears still fall
More gravestones appear

The fighting must stop
All wars should end
And home to their families
The soldiers we’ll send

But the ones that fell
And gave their lives
Won’t return home
To mothers and wives

So wear your poppy with pride
For all that fell
And the ones still fighting
Remember them as well

Think of them always
Not just this day
They gave away their tomorrows
For a peaceful today
