Giant’s shadows
This is a very fitting tribute to all of our brave war heroes written by Mick Westwood.
Giant’s shadows
They died, so we could live,
They gave, all they could give,
A little poppy, is our pride,
To hold the love, we hide inside.
Just one man, and thousands more,
Would defend, our nation’s shore,
Standing strongly, as our shield,
Fighting bravely, on the field.
They are weak, in stature now,
Bent and weary, wrinkled brow,
Though their stance, is rather small,
Still their shadow, ten feet tall.
Poppies worn, in our lapel,
Silent stories, they do tell,
“We are here, we haven’t gone,
Let our glory, linger on”.
Wear them proudly, on that day,
Never let them, fade away,
Britain’s saviours, buried deep,
Britain’s freedom, – we must keep !
“We will remember them”
Mick
