Lest we forget
A father, a son, my great uncle, my friend
lest we forget you fought till the end
our countries hero, our countries man
stand down soldier we salute with our hand
though...
Lest we forget
the less we remember
they were not soldiers
they were our family member
A lifetime of silence
to those who fought for freedom
given the apple
in the garden of eden
Rest in piece uncle Thomas
lest we forget you fought till the end
our countries hero, our countries man
stand down soldier we salute with our hand
though...
Lest we forget
the less we remember
they were not soldiers
they were our family member
A lifetime of silence
to those who fought for freedom
given the apple
in the garden of eden
Rest in piece uncle Thomas

"Lest we forget..."
Your poem is very touching. Sorry for your loss. Take care. Blessings.
fellowman - I agree our civilisation has backtracked and war has no winner.
Thank you cafe2, Thelma and Jazzy too. Much appreciated
