I Will Remember

If it weren't for heroes and those that were scared
Those that were orphans left to a life impaired
Widows and widowers, their lives torn apart
With tears in their eyes but pride in their heart
I would not be here typing this ode to their memory
They sacrificed all they had for you and me
I can only hope if ever I had to stand and be counted
I would walk to the front and leave no son disappointed
I wear my poppy with honour and a heartfelt pride
I will remember you all and give thanks for the future you gave when you died

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

We Will Remember

We will remember, The warriors of the past, The hero's of the present, In our memories you'll last. We will remember, The pain caused by them, The wounds bled for us, In our memories, our gem.

Today is a day when I will stop to ponder, All the lives lost I will start to wonder, Imagine the lives falling down, Imagine the sadness all around.

Remember Them.

For those who gave their lives away, And sacrificed everything each day, We will remember them. For those who go to the fierce war, And them who obey their law, We will remember them.

Remember Them

When the autumn leaves start falling. I know it's that time again. To make my way down to the memorial. Pay my respects and remember them. The fallen, the departed. Loved ones, dead but not gone.

REMEMBER THE 11 of NOVEMBER

Remember remember. The 11th of November. 'Cause men died in war for us. Gas may have killed. And guns may have thrilled. But on the 11of November it stopped. People suffered, got injured and died,.
