Anzac Day 2019

I wonder and admire those people true
Who answered the bugle’s call those years through
For they were volunteers one and all
And how did they stay the distance in the call

A hundred years have passed 
Where great change has been amassed
They were different to each one of us
And were known to make less of a fuss

The Great War changed the world
Where great empires were lost and felled
And what is left is from those years
Lest we forget as we shed our tears
