Courage…Commitment…and Comrades
Courage…commitment…and Comrades
They enlisted with Courage….
not knowing what lay ahead
Young Men and Women….
for their Country…they led
In all hearts there was Commitment….
…to `never never give in`
helped by Churchill`s inspiring words….
the war they did win
But…to grieve for War Comrades…
the loss was too great
Men and Women sacrificed their souls
…..they were military mates
Tears should be shed….
to respect and honour their memory
…A poppy we place on a War Memorial….
so tender…and lovingly
Proudly and heartfully written By Poetess Wendy Joy Baker
