Analysis of Canada Remembers: A Tribute to Our Heroes
On this day of remembrance, we recall
The brave soldiers who heeded the call
To fight for our land, our freedom, our home
And ensure that Canada would forever roam
From Vimy Ridge to the beaches of Normandy
They fought with courage, with honor, with bravery
Through the snow and ice, the mud and rain
They stood for Canada, and never wavered in their aim
They hailed from every corner of this great land
From the cities, the farms, and the rugged island strand
They left behind their loved ones, their families, their friends
To fight for the freedom, that we cherish till the end
In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow
A symbol of the sacrifice, of the courage we know
The blood they shed, the lives they gave
For a Canada, that is strong, free, and brave
And though they may have fallen, their memory lives on
In the stories we tell, in the pride we spawn
For they were our heroes, our finest, our best
And their legacy, we will always attest
So let us honor their sacrifice, with grateful hearts
And vow to never forget, to never be apart
For they fought for our Canada, our land of the free
And their spirit lives on, in you and me.
