Remember

Remember

The whistle sounded
For us to go
And we climbed over the hill
I heard the sound of gunfire
And all the world stood still

I turned and saw my comrades fall 
Causing panick in the mud 
I ran toward the nearest trench
And fell down with a thud


Looking round at all the men
There eyes so full of fear
Hands a shaking bodies cold 
But non would shed a tear

Remember, one voice shouted loud
We all looked round to see 
One day he said this war will end
And people will be free

Terry, your poem “Remember” is a powerful and evocative piece that vividly captures the horrors of war and the hope for peace. The raw emotion and the poignant message make it a truly moving read. - Blessings, Daniel
