Honor

To all that gave their lives so that others could be free Gone but not forgotten are those who died for you and me With their loved ones left behind and all they held so dear None could ever take their place nor wipe away our tear Forever etched within our hearts can never be erased Will always lift the spirits high nor ever to be abased Those of us who still remain we'll continue to hold fast Lifting up the blood stained banner gripping e'er the mast Tis the casualties of war fought in the name of peace O'er the billowing waves abound battle cries never to cease Alas, alas the bell still tolls ringing out its endless peal Remembering our heroes past, old wounds just beginning to heal Copyright 2013
