lest we forget

lest we forget

lest we forget?

what makes you think that we might?

we will not forget

forget not their plight

or their fight

and we’ll always regret…

who would forget?

we remember their courage

we will not forget

forget not their strife

or their life

we will not disparage…

will we forget?

we know who they were

forget not the sons

or the sweethearts

the lovers

the Dads

or the friends

men who gave all

gave all that they had…

their laughter

their song

and their fears

tears of regret

lost their life’s light

we will not forget

do you think that we might?

not one

or the others

who laid down their lives

‘stead of arms

not died in vain?

were they not slain?

comrades and brothers…

in

war
