A Soldier’s Final Remembrance
“Let their memory survive forever within us still alive”
By Mary Michael
(Daughter of a FEPOW)
Remember all those who didn’t come home
May their memory be more than engraved in stone
Remember the boys and all the young men
Who surely didn’t deserve for their lives to end
Remember that their lives they gave
Were given so our future they could save
Remember lives taken in the name of war
Remember they couldn’t have given any more
Remember always and never forget those who died
Remember them all with much respect and pride
May their memory forever in our hearts burn bright
Remembering those who lost their own mortal fight
Remember also those who lost the ones they did love
Know that they are now looking down from above
May their spirits now all finally soar and be free
Knowing they did all they could for their country
Remember also the ones who survived
With memories of all those who died
May they too peace finally get
Knowing that we will never forget
Remember them all on this Remembrance Day
At the Memorial as flowers and a wreath we do lay
May we proudly wear our FEPOW pins today
Knowing finally all loved ones are having their say
“May God Bless Them All”
