Remember

That time of year has come again When we reflect and remember them Polish our boots and press our kit Remember those fallen that didn't make it We shine our medals Place them on our chest Remember our friends We have laid to rest Remember those that went before Those that were lost in another war People think it's for soldiers old Now it's time for them to be told Rightly so we should do it with pride Mark of respect for them that died Show the world they didn't die in vain For there families I feel the pain They fought for our freedom of speech And died on a foreign beach Yes I'm talking about Dunkirk And you may think I'm beserk Without these acts of soldiers past Would we be here and talk so fast So on this day in mid November I ask you all to sit and remember The 11th hour on the 11th day Shall be known as armistice day When  we wear a flanders poppy And some of us may get soppy It is good to let the tears flow It shows gratitude to those that know So as you see me March past I was a soldier and not the last There are veterans in there early twenties Who stand tall and tears are plenty Bravery and courage may appear less No whistle blows but I digress The point of this is to say If only war would go away These men and women have survived Some of them burning up inside So remember the fallen that is right Bear a thought for servicemen tonight And all those veterans on parade Bow your head as  they have stayed R.I.P all personell who have passed CARPE DIEM
