REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

Do you still recall

John, Tony, Paul?

Those playmates of our youth,

Now gone to seek Eternal Truth.

We may forget awhile,

Or spare a tear – or smile

When thoughts of olden days

Recall their youthful ways.

As we grow old, infirm,

Draw near our life span’s term,

We think of men who gave

Their lives into War’s grave,

And poppies in November

Remind up to remember,

Ah, yes! We still recall

John, Tony, Paul.
