SHELDON BACON

A Poem of Remembrance

NOVEMBER 11th, 2016

By SHELDON BACON, dear friend and mentor to Carbon Lilies

Today we honour all of our soldiers of the past.
Their place in history has already been cast.
War is a particularly terrible and gruesome plight.
But our brave men and women continued to fight.
They were on foreign soil so it would have been easy to run
But they knew they had to stay and do what had to be done.
Our soldiers were so strong, courageous, and brave.
It was our way of life that they were fighting to save.
The loss of so many lives is something to regret.
But their brave sacrifices we should never forget.
