Remembrance Day Poem

 

 

 

 

The sound of guns,

The path of tears

I can’t even imagine

All of their fears

 

They had no choice,

They had to fight,

But only because

They knew what was right

 

With bodies’ around them

Of people they knew,

And the thought in their head

‘It could be you’

 

They needed to win,

And end this war

And the thought of giving in

Seemed closer than before

 

But still they went on

Fighting strong and proud

Knowing one day

It’d be celebrated out aloud

 

They gave up their lives,

And suffered long

Just to know that one day

Canada would be this strong
