REMEMBRANCE DAY
It is so sad to remember every year
How many members of our Armed Forces
Lost their lives fighting their enemies
On land, sea and in air
During the First and Second World Wars
Their undaunted courage and tenacity
As they fought their enemies
And the ultimate sacrifices they made
Will be remembered every year
On Remembrance Day
With red poppies worn by many
And despite the pain and suffering
Our men and women endured
They never lost hope of victory
And returning home in glory
To see their loved ones again
Yet despite their courage and tenacity
And their enormous perseverance
In fighting their enemies
Thousands never returned home
To see their loved ones again
What could be more honorable than that?
What could be more patriotic than that?
What could be more heroic than that?
What could be more selfless than that?
Yet their lives were not lost in vain
Because of the freedom we enjoy today
And because of their ultimate sacrifices
And the throes and trauma they endured
In totally selfless service to our country
We will always remember and honour them…
At the ceremony of the National War Memorial
With speeches and wreath laying
And a reverberating fly-past
And Two Minutes of solemn Silence
Near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
And the most elegant and ornate arch
With deepest gratitude and admiration
