Lest We Forget.

Lest we forget,
in this time of unrest,
of a time not long past,
when we were put to the test.

In a time not long gone,
when we were not found wanting.
In a time not long gone,
that was fearful and confronting.

Lest we forget,
those brave silent souls,
who gave so selflessly
and with such determined resolve.

So that we in this moment,
on this grey cloudy day,
can look back and remember
and give thanks as we pray.

For those soldiers and nurses,
who gave everything they possessed
and passed with such humility
and honor ability,
an unquestionable test.

Thank you brave warriors,
who paid the ultimate price,
for the freedom we have
and for such generosity
and might.
