V E Day Poem by David Boyce

V E Day

On 8th of May 1945,
The world war ended on what is called VE Day,
Many thousands of people lost their lives,
And for all those we will pray.

Army, Navy, Air men and women,
Didn't have the equipment to survive,
Many perished or were wounded in battle conditions,
On so many continents they gave their lives.

Seventy five years have now passed,
Many of our relatives and ancestors had fought and died,
But we can stand together on VE Day,
And salute them all with love and pride.

Many war graves stand in worldwide cemeteries,
Headstones and monuments now stand tall,
They gave their lives as a sacrifice for us back then,
And for that we thank you all.
