I REMEMBER

 

I remember

Those with no future,

But only a gallant past

I remember

Those who never lived,

To enjoy the fruits of their sacrifice

I remember

Those who will be forever young,

Those who will never be old

I remember

When the sun sets on their past,

And rises brilliantly for our future

I remember

Father’s, sons and brothers,

Husband’s, friends and lovers

I remember

That lost generation of men,

Who went to war for our tomorrow

I remember

Poor man, gentleman and scholar,

Who stood shoulder to shoulder

I remember

Those who fell before the foe,

For a future they wouldn’t know
