A Day To Remember
Today is a day to remember
those that gave their lives,
men going off to war
leaving behind children and wives.
Poppies are being worn
over the hearts of everyone,
many tears are being shed
when the eleventh hour has begun.
Our older veterans are dying
new ones take their place,
friends and loved ones lost
families should be embraced.
Today's not a day to fight
but to remember those that were lost,
they'll always remain in our hearts
because they had paid the cost.
Take a moment to remember
those that put their lives on the line,
getting wounded and killed in battle
they had hard hills to climb.
Open up your hearts
and let the kindness in,
take a moment to remember
all of our battling women and men.
