Remember They ...

By Mithiras

(Inspired by Rememberance Day, and the T.V. Mini Series Band of Brothers.)

Remember they who took up the call
Remember they who fought for us all
Remember they who did not tary
Remember they who fought back Gerry

Remember them who stood fast
Remember them from the past
Remember them for everything they did
Remember them for their weakness hid

Remember those who make us free
Remember those who help keep our country
Remember those who still fight for us
Remember those who head out for us

Remember everything these men/women did
Remember what they have done and will do for everyone
For when no one volunteered and hid
They were the brave ones who for us they bled

Remember they who died by the plenty
Remember they who fought by the many
Remember they who help set us free
Remember they who keep us free

For all those who died and will die in wars
We pray, we hope, we live no more
We honour, we give everything we can
So that one day, we will stop fighting our fellow man.
