May We Never Forget
“Their youth they gave for your life to save”
by
Mary Michael
(Daughter of a FEPOW)
Alone they stand within the crowd
Upright with head slightly bowed
Veteran’s Day here once again
Fewer now to share memory and pain
Memories abound within their head
Of comrades long ago lost or dead
They were so young and so very bold
Serving their country is what they were told
Leaving home and country for a foreign war
Never forgetting nor sharing all that they saw
So many not returning to be here today
For freedom the full price they did pay
But their brave and fighting spirit is still here
For they are the reason we now live without fear
They are reason for the freedom we now see
And they are the reason that we are still free
To the veterans there is so much we do owe
As unknowing about our daily lives we go
We live neither in fear, humble or meek
Thankful that our own language we still speak
Our National flag is waving so proud
Our National Anthem is sung so loud
For veterans today are the Heroes of War
Remember them still when they here are no more
If a veteran you happen to meet
Whether family or stranger in the street
Take the time for a thank you to say
Bless them all and not only on Veteran’s Day
