Always Remember

Take a minute to remember,
Those men and women who refused to surrender.

All those lives they fought to save,
Only it is they that ended up in a mass grave.

This was not a game of Call of Duty you know,
These people that died did not get to see their children grow.

Before and since, soldiers have died aplenty,
Thousands of them gone before they hit twenty.

The First World War is known as Great,
But what is so about such conflict and hate?

For months and years they suffered in trenches,
Remember that when you are sat on their memorial park benches.

For all those souls that met their fate,
Did so to ensure that evil does not dictate.

Take a minute to reflect, remember and ponder,
All those lives lost in years gone yonder.

And support our soldiers, strong and brave,
Think of all those lives they fight to save.

Wear a poppy by your heart, on your chest,
They don't ask you to give a lot, just do your best.

One hundred years have come and gone,
We should always remember them, each and every one.
