On Remembrance Day

On Remembrabce Day
I see the wreath placed on your cross
A young man... The mines and the bullets
The bombs and the cries
The tanks and the guns
And the boy who dies
On Remembrance Day
I see the memories etched on your face
A mother... The pride and the hope
The waiting and the fear
The news of the loss
Of a son who was dear
On Remembrance Day
I see the tear dropped from your eye
A veteran... The survival and the memories
The pain and the crosses
The pride and the sorrow
Reflecting the losses
On Remembrance Day
I see the furture placed in my hands
A boy... The war of the past
The death and the pain
The freedom and the rights
The lives not in vain
On Remembrance Day
I bow my head and whisper, “Thank you”
