MY PROMISE
By Maria Sutherland Ontario, Canada
I promise you dear soldier
to remember what you've done
all the scarifies you have made
in battles lost and won.
to remember what you've done
all the scarifies you have made
in battles lost and won.
I promise you dear soldier
that you will not have fought in vain
even when the years have come and gone
and only your tombstone does remain
that you will not have fought in vain
even when the years have come and gone
and only your tombstone does remain
I promise you dear soldier
a poppy I will wear
to show the world I'm proud of you
and that I will always care
a poppy I will wear
to show the world I'm proud of you
and that I will always care
I promise you dear soldier
to teach my children well
so that they will always remember
and to their children the stories tell
to teach my children well
so that they will always remember
and to their children the stories tell
To you I make this promise
an oath straight from my heart
to never, ever forget you
and that in my life you have a part.
an oath straight from my heart
to never, ever forget you
and that in my life you have a part.
Lest that we forget
the terror that is war
and all that has been given
by those who fought before
the terror that is war
and all that has been given
by those who fought before
