remember the fallen

remember the fallen

A Poem by David Dodsworth

Remember the fallen, that gave up their lives
in a war that was pointless, for them I have cried


hold on to their memories, they won't be forgot
heros forever, that gave up there lot


killed for no reason, by a war thats in vain
those left behind, are feeling the pain


death and destruction, is all war can give
the innocent die, so the guilty can live


as I light a candle, to pray for the dead
who once stood where angels feared to tread


I pray to my god in heaven above
to let them in heaven to share in his love
