Remember

This poem was among my Granddad's belongings.

The family story is that the poem was written by a man who was in the same hospital ward as my Granddad when he was injured during World War II.

(If anyone knows any other history to this poem I'd love to know)

Remembrance Sunday

I’m not sure I have the words.
It has been a horrific week for those in the armed services and my thoughts are with them and their families.

I disagreed with us entering this war but we are there now and I would never want to take away from the amazing work that is being done. These men and women are doing work I can not comprehend with bravery and dignity I would not be able to muster.

Today I will remember those who fought and were taken, those who fight on through injury and adversity and those who are on the frontline.

Thank you
