Proud Tears
An extremely poignant poem written by Mick Westwood for Remembrance Sunday
Proud Tears
Carry the flag, with your eyes wet with tears,
Stand straight and proud for today,
Salute them with pride all those heroes who died,
On those blood-ridden shores, far away.
Glisten your medals, and strong is your pride,
Heroes we call you as one,
Though your strong stature fades, you will lead the parades,
Because the freedom you bought does go on.
Remember your comrades this morning,
Those that you left in the field,
Their presence is with us forever,
The heroes, who never would yield.
Carry your standards together,
Hold them aloft to the skies,
Remember, ‘the fallen’, our brethren,
Be proud of those tears in your eyes.
In eternal gratitude for your sacrifice. – Rest In Perfect Peace !xx
