The profile is of a soldier’s life,
The leaving behind of a sweetheart or wife.
As any old Veteran knows,
The pressure builds up and grows.
The constant vigilance and the constant fear,
The imprint on the mind that’s ever so clear.
They are all freedom fighters of a sort,
Much deserving of honour our gratitude and support.
For each and every one of them we pray,
Never to be forgotten in any a way.
The poppy a symbol of many a time,
The bugle blows and the bells chime.
