💔💘Lest We Forget

I remember the living
I remember the dead
I stand here in silence
With my poppy of red
I think of the people
Who live without fear
Because of the fallen
Who fought through the years
I remember the soldiers
Who left children and wives
Fighting the wars
So we could survive
I stand at the cenotaph
With the young and the old
Remembering my Grandad
And stories he told
The things he endured
The friends that he lost
The bravery of soldiers
Who fought at all cost
I remember the grieving
The tears that they cried
As I look at the crowds
My heart swells with pride
United we stand
With those never met
Wearing our poppies
Lest we forget
