Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget

Poppies they grow
On row, on row
Remembering the bravery
Of those that fought long ago

In the cities and the streets
Across the rivers and the creeks
With Valor and Pride
These men (and women) gave their life

Laid down their bayonets
As tyranny put them to rest
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

Thanks, Kieran! It's the 11th over here so I thought a tribute might be nice... I`m glad you liked the work, I was trying to post it without a Copywrite but Cosmo wouldn't allow it...
