Remembrance

They left their loved ones,

They fought to protect us,

Were ever so brave and strong.

Always dreamed big,

Protected our country,

All were amazing heroes.

Not once did they forget the reason they fought,

All wished for the day to come home.

Most left us, not because they wanted to,

But because it was the only choice.

For all those who fought,

Will never leave our hearts.

They fought with much pride and honour,

Never regretted what they did.

There's one day each year, that is all for them,

Remembrance Day is this day.

Courage

When courage came,

It did not leave.

It kept our soldiers fighting strong.

It lives inside,

Our hearts and souls.

Every soldier had it in them,

By being brave and honourable.

Courage is being loyal,

To themselves and other soldiers.

They all left many loved ones,

To fight for our country.

They faced their fear by taking action.

Courage is a symbol,

Of strength and honour.

Some came home to us,

No longer being missed.

Our country will admire,

Always the courage they had.

Poppies

Beneath the trees,

The poppies dance in the breeze.

Though by a lake,

They get a break.

At night the stars shine,

In a never-ending line.

In the day, the sky is low,

As a poppy I will grow.

Years after years,

Poppies never disappear.

We place them on a cross,

To represent our loss.

In November we mark,

The loneliness in our heart.

By wearing a poppy bright and red,

To remember both the survivors and the dead.

Veterans

These people are not just family members,

That made it back from the war,

With little or no damage.

These men and women are heroes,

And I am pretty sure without them,

We wouldn't be here.

They have risked their lives for the homeland,

No matter if it's Canada or America.

Thousands of people have lost their lives,

Family,

Home,

And friends.

Some of these heroes made it back alive,

Others in coffins.

Leaving

Here comes the train.

That will take you away.

Now I will be lonely.

But you will be brave.

Now we are waving goodbye.

With our eyes full of tears.

I will write you letters,

And pray every day.

Now I am thanking you.

For what you are doing.

You have a lot of courage.

And pride, thank you.

For protecting our homeland.

Now I have to say goodbye.

I hope I will see you soon.

Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day,

We remember and pray.

We may be sad,

But we are glad.

For what you have done,

Now, we see the sun.

We will be free,

From sea to sea.

We will always remember,

On the 11^th of November,

The ones we love,

Even if they are up above.

We will be proud,

And say it out loud.

For the ones we lost,

We will put up a cross.

Our Soldiers

Our soldiers are brave,

And they will never back down,

Even if they now lie in their graves,

They were not a let-down.

They lived to protect,

And are thus treated with respect.

But when the war came,

Things could never be the same.

Day by day the soldiers had no choice but to fight

By morning, by day, and even by night.

And when it was all over, it came at too big a cost

Most of the soldiers we had were all lost.

But even though they died,

They showed great pride,

So we will always remember them.
