Ode to the Fallen
Oh, marvellous light
Your glory bright
That once shone where
The poppies grew.
Such precious lives
Lie buried low
In Flanders Fields
Where daffs now grow.
Old bones rest on
Their souls long gone
Hold in mind
Of what went wrong.
They had their dreams
But blooded scenes
In wars fought hard
Left bloodshed scars.
Their lives so lost
Youth, dreams, hope, love
All now resting
In realms above.
So now residing
In Heaven blessed
In enchanted light
They reminisce.
Lest We Forget
About this poem
