Soldiers

In Flander’s Fields, the poppies grow vast They remind us of the wars from the past So, on November Eleventh, we unite with one goal; To remember the soldiers who fought as a whole While the war filled the minds of the people with grief, The soldiers held up our flag, emblazoned with the maple leaf Day by day we stand for a moment of silence Never shall we forget the soldiers who ended the violence Before they rest in the land higher than the sky, They salute the people and give us one last goodbye For all the soldiers who made the war cease, Thank you, and may you rest in peace.
