Soldiers Going To War

Soldiers going to war 

Soldiers going to War, Marching in two by two,
We remember those who have fallen,
We remember their bravery,
We remember those left behind,
Their families with children who don't see them for months on end, 
Those remembered in conflict who have lost their lives for us,
We remember those on the front line who each day risk their lives for us,
Their loved ones, who hope that their husbands or wives will return,
Children missing parents, desperately wanting to see them!
Families dreading the terrible news loved ones have been killed in action,
The knock at the door,
To be told this, 
The devastation that their loved one, they will no longer see!
