Thoughts On This Remembrance Day
Thoughts on this Remembrance Day.
I stood out on our veranda,
Just admiring the view.
The clock then stuck eleven
My thoughts, they drifted to you.
I don't know who you are friend,
You're laid down on some battlefield,
Maybe where the poppies grow.
You gave your all for me that day,
I will not let you just drift away.
So here I stand, grit in my eye,
I see men marching across the sky.
Onward and upward to their reward,
You will all live on you have my word.
