No one will truly understand
The sacrifice and hell
That all those we remember
Truly felt
Painful memories haunt
Their living souls each day
Some memories too painful
To say
Indeed there were times
Of lighthearted reprieve
For the loss of many
We now grieve
We must remember
Respect with awe
How they fought
Each and all
Remembering those
Who lost their lives
And those who came home
With pride
One minute of shared respect
To honour them all
Stand with gratitude
Stand tall
