The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - Canada

We all know you now
You have fallen at our feet
You have guarded them all with life and limb
Noble and brave
Only to fall at a cowards last call
You have stirred the souls of the unknown heroes
Their appall shall seek...

I stand at your grave.
I do not know your name.
I know not where you are from.
Where you fought,
nor where you died.

The horrors and pain you suffered,
were not in vain.
The death and destruction brought you pain.

I weep at your grave,
for the life you gave.
I weep for...

He stood as he braced himself for the greatest battle he`ll ever known
His entire life`s existence an accolade towards this very moment, this last battle of the gods
His breath slow and measured, steadying himself for what his yet to come
An attempt to hide the frantic...

There's flowers on the grave where this man lies,
The flowers on this grave will never wilt or die,
Thoughts of this person resting in this tomb,
Lay across this nation in every living room,
He died beneath the colors of the red,white and blue,
To keep people safe like...

Voice of the Unknown Soldier

 Do You Perhaps Remember Me?
 Somehow I Hope You Do.
 I'd Hate to Think You Don't  Care
 That I Gave My Life for You.

 You Don't Think That Possible?
 I Don't Even Know Your Name,
 But it doesn’t Make...

Green locusts whirl and flap above,
 A long way from Chicago, love.
Out here, the armor piercing dove
will make you scream for mothers' love.
Through layers of mud, I'm still alive
if life just means what I survive.
The mortars thunk, I shove and dive.
I don't think I'm--------------------------.

I used to wonder if I’d get through
This war to end all wars
Ever get me a wife and a child
A home with grandchildren too.

Mum cried when I signed up
But I did it for her as well 
I was no frightened young pup
The honour, the glory...

At the foot of the unknown soldier
I heard them speak about the past
The generation born after the war
I heard them sing of warfare
Like children recite rhymes 
I heard their threats of war 
Even from lands abroad 
I heard them talk about 
Fighting to the last...

Tales of heroes beyond, the normal despair of war’s plight,
Hearing of these stories, make us all quiver, in the night.
Each of them that go to fight, any battle, with all their might,

Universally, they are unknown soldiers, until names are released.
None knows the others, until their...

In the morning I heard howling in the air,
The most rooted oak bows in awe and swear,
In the prior gleam of sunset, were greeted with pride,
In perilous fights, our flags and stars never hide. 

What induces a nation's pillars strong? 
How is it gifted to...

The Unknown Soldier

So many thousands have died
So many needless wars
Every land in the world has one
A man who died
Fighting for his country
No one will ever know his name
How he died
Where he took his last breath
Still, he is honored
Never forgotten
He lies in a cold crypt
Alone with...

Unknown Soldier from Newfoundland
finally back home in his native land;
long ago he laid down his gun,
his trials and tribulations all done;
he was someone's beloved son...
part of a small nation,
part of a lost generation...
we honour him...
we remember them...
a humble "Thank you" seems to hardly suffice
given their...

For Memorial Day, 2023...


Rest now
The wind knows your name
It is heard in the song it sings to the stars
Now you can rest
And rest assured that no day
Shall erase you
From the memory of time...
