It is on this day, The final day, The last battle in the war that ended all my wars, The final shot, The final blast, Full of rage, sorrow, and lore. It is in the moments, These final moments, In which I'd reflect upon it all, The joy, the sorrow, the laughter, and the tears, In remembrance of those that had fall. And when the cannons fell mute, & the rifles went still, In realization it had dawn, That when the darkness came, We fought deaths game, And those that claimed victory would have to go on.
