Please Remember Me
For those who sleep from battles lost
And paid, for us, the ultimate cost
For all who came back from war
Forever scarred by what they saw
The lucky ones,
so they say
They got to see
another day
But their friends who fell
At the toll of death's bell
Still haunt their dreams
Upon the fields of screams
Where poppies now dwell
as a veil across hell
Where bones still lie
And the lost still cry:
Remember me, please!
Please, remember me!
I, in deepest earth
And, I, in deepest sea
Please, don't forget
Please remember me…

Thank you very much for your comments & constant support John, Stephen, Uilleam, Julie & John C. Always appreciated.
Just had the honour of having our reverend read my poem out as part of the memorial tribute for our village. Which got a brilliant turn out. Lest we forget
