Minute of Silence
By Bob Scott
Poppy painting - Linda Stanley
We will remember them
Go forth in your numbers great or small
Place Those Wreath's or Poppies all
At Memorials that stand revered across this land
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In our Cities, Towns and grassed Village greens
Memorials all record their own
One life! Or Ten Thousand all equal in death
Now is the time to Remember! Their sacrifice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For one minute!! Close your eyes
Then remember all those past and present
The dead the Dying and the wounded
Then those yet to fall in duty fulfilled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Picture if you will the sights and sounds of horror
This is war! One is unable to escape
The sacrifices of the many
And that of! One man too
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your minute’s up!
As you return to the Present
Look around and you will find
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
