Remembrance Day

November the eleventh Worldwide is known as Remembrance Day
When young men from their homes died in wars far away
We are told for freedom and peace with their lives they did pay
But the World is not at peace which does seem sad to say
They died rather young and due to circumstance
Many of them to father children did not have that chance
But sadly those who declared war lived on to die old
As wealthy aged heroes and their life stories in book form told
For flag and for country and for national pride
One must ask why so many young soldiers in wars have died
They cannot hear the last post played from where they do lay
From the dark depths of their graves on Remembrance Day
Some of them died rather young some of them lived to grow old
And they fought for our freedom or so we are told.
