Poem
Remembrance Day<P> There are times that we want to forget And events that we can't recollect But this day in November We'll always remember The soldiers to whom we're in debt<P> They were young, full of life and ambition But some dreams never reached their fruition With their lives put on hold They were daring and bold And accomplished their ultimate mission<P> Most returned when the fighting was done And the war had been finally won Many others did not Having died where they fought At the flash of an enemy gun<P> But in spirit they'll always be here To our hearts they will always be near For the price that was paid And the sacrifice made Let's remember each day of the year<P> -
