Soldiers

I write this poem in honours sake, 

For people like Mr. John McCrae, 

Who fought and fought till the very last day, 

Not even fear could keep them away,  

From protecting their families and saving the day, 

Like a knight and his castle as we watched in dismay,

their people it's just really hard to believe, 

that the soldiers were people like you and like me, 

 no matter their bravery, courage, and fight, 

They shared courage so I will tonight.

Soldiers.
