Remember Me

When the guns fall silent
when the last shots fired
when sailors sleep in salty graves
and the last brigade retires
Remember Me

When the men turn for home
shattered maimed and torn
and on allotments and bomb sites
burn bloodied khaki worn
Remember Me

When the poppies and skylarks once more
to Flanders return and silence drowns the
screams of men who fell shredded bloodied burned
Remember Me

Once a soldier son and husband
on this battleground I stood
now sleeping here for eternity
bones lost in the deep mud

So dear hearts when you look up
to the mantel and my picture see
say a prayer for my soul and please
Remember Me
