There For Us All Poem by Lyn Paul

There For Us All

Rating: 5.0


To hear the drums from the marching band
Step by step
The Military united each hand
For in 1914 these hands fought
They fought as one, that's what they were taught
I felt I had been there I was holding back tears
The dignity of Our Soldiers fighting their fears
They were there for us one by one, ... as one
They learnt to fight, to shoot a gun
Tears were shed for many years
By Soldiers, their families. Would they return, these were their darkest fears
As The Corporal told stories of courage yet pain
Too many, wounded, dead. Lives that never had even began
So to all you Brave Soldiers who united us all
Thank You
You gave Your Youth. So future generations would not fall.

'We Will Remember Them'

What a wonderful tribute to soldiers/heroes who sacrificed their lives and families for the love of their country. Their sacrifices are beyond measure especially the Youth who were called so early. Beautifully crafted and well executed write. Very touching.

a fine tribute those brave soldiers who laid down their lives, but are we doing enough to honor such sacrifice?
