Allaround me, an endless realm
But
In you I see me.

Where is the anger, wrath untold
For these young men that go to die,
In foreign fields where we behold,
Bright plumes of poppies where they lie.
Words can’t explain the tears that well,
For sons and brothers lost to life,
Too soon the ringing of that bell,
The rousing epitaph, the doleful fife.
And yet in youth there is no fear,
To follow bugles sounding proud,
The thought that death be quite so near
Drowned out by voices shouting loud.
Forward they go brothers in arms,
As if a wave breaking on shore,
Courage undoubted, impervious to harm,
They follow destiny to history’s lore.
For those that lived beyond the slaughter,
Their lives now changed for evermore,
Gone is the youth, the raucous laughter,
In a recurring nightmare of blood and gore.
Award posterity the wrongs of war,
Our solemn duty merely to remember,
All those brave souls that went before,
Their memory a bright everlasting ember.

Dear those who have passed,
You were the guiding light
To those of us who were in the dark
You helped us through our darkest times
Even when you suffered more
You shaped us
Molded us
Built us into the people we are today
Even when your own body wanted to take you away
You deserve the world
Just like the one you gave to us
So thank you for your Words
Actions
and Deeds
That lead us here today
Wish you the best,
The one you guided home
