In Memoriam
To the young and the old,
Those lost on the battlefield,
Days cut too short
To give us ones long.

Those who went forward
And fight our wars
I honor them,
But today I remember those who gave all.

Each one lost left a
Vacuum behind
Someone reaching out
And finding none.

For some their mother
For some their son
For all their brothers
And sisters in arms.

We all pass from this world
Each in our time
But there is a special sorrow
In those lost at war.

Now they rest in peace
After hard worn battles
May the peace they fought for
Be found.
