Never Forget

The noise of battle raged all around distant guns, the smell and the sound mingled with fear, lost hope and death scars on the wounded- those who are left The young, the old, forgotten men lie in the earth, graves in scores of ten friend, brother, son and lover war full of terror as one man kills another Years they may pass, survivors recall army days, comradeship as if they loved them all but deep down inside they hide their true sorrow remembering friends who had no tomorrow. Yet, from their sacrifice our freedom came soldiers so brave some came home again wear your red poppy and wear it with pride for those who fought and for those who died. 'Lest we should ever forget'
