Remember
It was all patriotic
For King and country
Ringing in their ears
They were prepared
Until the day came and the rains fell, mud caked, cold bit and the gas choked
Whistles blew for them to climb, breach the trench walls and blood began to flow
As they felt the thousands of metal shards speeding by, slicing, piercing; killing
In their prime; on those fields they ran out of time far too early, far to young
In our celebrations remember them
In our freedom mourn them
As their families would
Mothers, Fathers
Wives, Children
Those soldiers sacrifice
Their bravery, their deaths
That gave us our freedom
A heavy price to pay
Remember
I really like this, JC!
