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
