Remembrance [Fallen Soldiers]

to the flags of our fathers
to the lives lived in truth
their sacrificed, their open hearts
their victories and their youth.

for the unsung heroes
for the giving of strength
to the lives of our elders
to the lives that they gave

forgotten all their hopes and dreams
forgotten all their fights and wars
in unseen lands, with sights uknown
in unseen hearts, with darkness sown

remember the fallen
remember the strong
remember the weak
or remember them none

the heroes of yesterday
sit alone in their beds
the heroes of old
lie down in the sand

to the heroes of then
to the captives of time
to the dead friends gone
to the ones still alive

i thank you for your gift
i thank you for your grace
i wish you naught but strength
and God's sweet gift of peace
