Remembrance Day Memorial

[LesleyB]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
From “For The Fallen” by Laurence Binyon

A mothers cry a heartfelt plea ,end this wanton misery
Please pray for peace for wars to cease
Too many sons have been lost
Too many mothers count the cost
Of the bullets that took their sons
Of faceless men who make the guns
My son has gone, no bird should sing nor build its eager nest
No flower should wreathe its petals wide for pollened feet to rest
The butterflies should still their wings,and cease their nectared trail
The evening gnats not weave their dance upon the steps of space
He is not here to see and smile nor may i see his face
Slain by his fellow man ,another mothers son
just another victim killed by the deadly gun

For all the brave young men who have died in all the wars
