A day to remember

The tears will come as we think back

To days gone by so long ago

When side by side we fought as one

To just resist the common foe.

The pain of loss just never goes

It still cuts deep straight to the heart

We think of friends no longer here

Who stood with us and played their part.

It's said, in time all things must heal

But faces still just haunt my dreams

Some memories will never fade

Forever set in stone it seems.

But we also smile and still recall

The times we shared with those held dear

We'll see them once again I know

As bonds of love will draw them near.
