Analysis of In Rememberance

Dan Scholes 1988 (Ashford hospital)



As we fall silent across the land, the bell doth toll as we stand,
     Remembering our fallen one and all,
     A minutes silence, is that all,
     For they were our father's, who fought long and hard, for Queen/King and Country,
     Friends and family, war torn faces and memories are plenty,
     For those memories, of which are good, but most are bad,
    Please come home safe, I love you dad,
    Twas not only our hero's that we lost today, but the animals, each great and small, let's remember them, one and all,
    So as we stand here to remember their courage,
   'Lest we forget' and let's pay homage.

Dan Scholes, 12/11/23
