The Unknown Warrior

Chosen by a brigadier from a group of your
 fellow fallen,  the ceremony poignant but solemn
To be interred in the abbey of Westminster 
amongst the famous, the knights, poets kings, 
a prime minster.
 
 
Laid to rest as the unknown warrior in a coffin of 
Hampton Court palace Oak decorated with a 
kings sword and a shield your body returned to 
your homeland from a muddy battlefield.
 
 
Your body flanked by 100 warriors  bearers of our 
highest honour for valour , as your coffin is 
interred the focal point of a nations thanks to 
those who lost their life in service of their 
country inferred.

 
Decorated by bouquets and wreaths laid by more than 
one royal, to your memory they remain ever 
loyal.  We will never forget the sacrifice of every soldier by paying respects to 
one who shall
 never grow older.
