Lest we forget.

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day
We pause and remember the price they paid
The brave men and women who fought and died
In the trenches, on the fields, in the skies

They gave their lives for a cause they believed
They faced the horrors that we can’t conceive
They endured the pain, the fear, the loss
They sacrificed everything for peace at last

We honour their memory with gratitude and respect
We wear the poppy as a symbol of their debt
We vow to never forget their legacy and their story
We thank them for their service and their glory
