The 4th Remembrance - In Memory of Me
Remember me well and remember this plea:
Please honour the heroes - that set us all free.
Those tasked to be bold, and geared to be brave.
They asked not for gold, and feared not the grave.
When glory is purposed and life is the price,
Victory is purchased with death’s sacrifice.
What is the mystery that fashions such mind?
They pursue their mission, like 'one of a kind'.
So many lives lost, on far-flung terrain.
Such great sacrifice shall not be in vain.
Their paradise gained, they rest for a spell….
These Defenders of Freedom;
…..remember them well!!
