Remembrance Day Poem by Michael Hall

Far away in this Shrinking World,
A Line is Drawn, Life's Dice are Hurled.
Men and Women Die Side by Side,
Family Albums keep us Alive.
Death; the Ultimate Price to Pay,
Remember me,
If only one day

Bearing Witness to Fallen Friends,
Lives Laid Down to Greater Ends.
Remain to Face such Pain Alone,
Hollowed out and Rotated Home.
None should ever feel this way,
Remember me,
If only one day

Back beyond the Maddened Tour,
Love will Grapple me to the Floor,
Kiss my Cheek and Hold me Tight,
Personal Thanks in a Thankless Fight.
Unable to Love now Anyway,
Remember me,
If only one day

Awaiting Days of War to Cease,
Chance Throws up Eternal Peace.
Daring Do, Such Martyr Me;
'Bravely Gave his Life for Thee'
I Know your Voice, I Hear you Pray,
Remember me,
If only one day
