Remember Those Fallen
REMEMBERANCE POEM
(penned by Gordon AKA Alex Alexander R Sigs 1987 –2013)
Alas it is that time of year
When we all shed a tear
For absent soldiers who went before
In far away lands fighting a war
From Ypres to the Somme
And further a field
Too many men
Far too young to be killed
Then more recent events did occur
In places some think mighty obscure
Places such as Iraq
Some families wishing daddy was back
Other places such as Afghanistan
Fighting for freedom of the condemned man
Not knowing who the enemy was
And being taken for this cause
Reminiscent of troubles near by
In places such as NI
I know this may upset a few
But all these conflicts are very true
I know I have missed quite a few
Such as the Falklands War and Bosnia too
Many countries where we have served
For human rights to be observed
They defended our country
With all there might
Never giving up the fight
Even in the dark of night
Remembering the fallen
Is not a one day event
They left too early
This was not meant
They are remembered daily by
Us that are left
There legacy will always live on
If we all remember what job they done
R.I.P my brothers in Arms
Until together we serve in heavens farm
Looking after one and all
Dancing with angels at the ball
