Remembrance Day

It's like we'll never stop 

Never stop enduring heartache, suffering, and death

But there's a silver lining in all that, you see

We are provided with love, the greatest thing of all and we take it for granted

We've lost and gained so much but today trumps everything the world has ever faced

Today is the day that we reminisce about the heroes that are finally asleep

So let's have no sorrow nor tears but hearts filled with joy and gratitude

We humans are known for pondering about the negative rather than the positive

 However, you get no decisions today because it's not your day

They gave their lives so that we might live

They have marked themselves amongst the stars to watch over us

As we have marked ourselves upon the earth to remember them

But see little ones, we've all been on the sphere for too long and you know it's true

We've seen the sun come out to play and go to sleep, stayed out past our curfew to feel the night breeze

On this day, fearless soldiers lined up for us for freedom and pride

 But not all of them came back to us 

And the ones who returned to us...were...

The fallen lie peacefully in those Flanders fields 

Witnessing one of Mother Nature's greatest gift, red poppies grew for them

They didn't want them to be forgotten, so we remember them now

For that we shall not break our faith in them, we give them a minute of silence

Mother Nature is their security blanket now, shielding them from the cold with the poppies

Dear nation or world, we've bounced back from far worse but not this because we haven't fully healed yet

We've been taught to love and now they lie

For we know where we came from and where we are headed, so what reason is there to fear

For the poppies that grow now will grow for years to come as they are a sign for those valiant comrades 

We've have been taught to love and now they lie

In the Flanders fields protected by the poppies, safely they lie

It's the Eleventh day 

Of the Eleventh month

Of the Eleventh hour
