To Those Who Bled and Died for Us. as written by Mrs. Leonard
Your heart no longer beats, but hark,
Another poet speaks for you, the spark
Ignited by a fellow poet’s pen,
Inflames my soul and words spill forth again.
Your eyes no longer see and yet
You spirit lives, and we cannot forget
The tears you shed or shallow grave
Wherein your dear heart bled.
Your skin no longer feels, but how
You suffered and you died, is now
And will forever be revealed
In hallowed verse upon our sad lips sealed.
Your voice no longer speaks, but we,
Your spokesmen will forever be;
Destiny chose you to bear our guns,
No one shall call you our forgotten sons.
