Dubba 72 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Not a normal remembrance poem but a personal one. I ask you to stand with me For both the injured and the lost I ask you to keep count with me Of all the wars and what they cost I ask you to be silent with me Quietly grateful for our lot As I expect you're as thankful as me For the health and life we've got I ask that you wish them well with me All those still risking their all And I ask that you remember with me The names of those that fall I expect that you are proud like me Of this great nation of ours too So enjoying all its freedoms like me Support those upholding them for you I hope that you are hopeful like me That we'll soon bring an end to wars So you'll have to stand no more with me And mourning families no different from yours 'Til then be thankful you can stand with me Thinking of those who now cannot For standing here today with me At least we show they're not forgot 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
