Poem Commentary

In remembrance of the fallen........We will remember them...

Words unspoken, words unread........

Forgotten souls beneath the trees, 
Entombed in mud and fallen leaves. 
No more voices, no more pain, 
Times of conflict gone again. 

Soldiers left among the sands, 
In fields and mountains of foreign lands. 
Words unspoken, words unread, 
Their authors left among the dead. 

Men of courage, men of guile, 
You lived your lives just a little while. 
It's time to sleep and rest my friend, 
Our gratitude will never end. 

                            "REST IN PEACE"
